GNU Photo Archiving software?

Posted by Cliff on from the digital-photo-albums dept.

jonr asks: "After I got my Olympus E-100RS camera, I have been enjoying photography again. I now take on average dozens photos a day. Now the problem is ever growing photo collection. I found an excellent archiving software, IMatch but I'm looking for something similar to run under Linux. Folders and sub-folders are are just not cutting it. IMatch allows me to put my photos in a category tree, e.g. a photo of my dog could be placed in Family/Pets and Animals/Dogs. It also has off-line archiving, a must have for growing collection. Now does anybody know of a tool or a collection of tools for this?"

    this is "news for nerds" not "windows for dummies"

    cripes even just storing them in a single directory with a text file description would solve your problem, using grep to search for shit

    DCS00012.jpg and DCS00012.txt

    grep dog *.txt

    How hard can it be ffs!

    hack some awk together to create the HTML to browse them.

    it's really so simple
