      Wow, this is so great! Thank you!

      …you wouldn’t happen to have a similar thing for finding and removing the many duplicates I’ve amassed, would you? 😁

      Thanks to this I learnt I have folders such as:

      Images More images Even more images

      I’d like to know where they even are

      That’s a good first step, but the obvious solution is to build a meme database with attributes, keywords, etc.

        You mean introduce some level of automation? Because I already manually name the files according to keywords

          Well I’m mostly joking but with a database you could have more than just keywords. You could tag them with any attributes (date, dominant colours, themes, size, etc etc).

    I just use this god-tier free, open-source app: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/index.html

    It’s called Hydrus Network, and it’s like an organized database for managing your pics, videos, and more.

    Features include: tagging images, adding notes to images, saving urls for images, searching your collection for duplicates and letting you compare them to keep the highest quality image, dark mode, meta tags, and more.

    It’s literally one of my top 5 most essential apps to my life, and it’s so unknown. I feel like a cultist because I’m always harping on about how great Hydrus Network is and no one knows about it.

      I did not know about this and am always eager for another useful piece of FOSS software to add to my collection. Thanks for introducing me to it!

    • You develop your own database application or use a professional file system with customizeable attributes.

      Then you end up cursing yourself because half the time you didn’t fill in any of the entries that would actually help you find it again and you named it “funny comic cheetos”

      This isn’t exactly an answer, but ReNamer is a free tool that allows you to name batches of files. It’s a pretty versatile tool that lets you do multiple things to the filename of different media types.

      For a while I tried tagging my memes (Samsung Gallery lets you make tags and assign as many to any image as you want), but that lasted about two days.

    This meme reminded me to sort my meme folders again. Really a shale that there’s no option to chose the directory where it’s stored each time you download a file on Android, it’d save me a lot of time.
