My organizing is pretty simple:
- I use Rapid Photo Downloader to load my photos to my computer. I use keyword-rich directory names to make it easy to find photos by date, camera used, and subject matter.
- I use Geeqie to cull the garbage and quickly decide what I want to edit.
- On Linux, I launch darktable from Geeqie. I’m not near that machine right now to get the command string, but it includes
--library :memory: - On Windows, I altered the command for the darktable icon to
"C:\Program Files\darktable\bin\darktable.exe" --library :memory:
This may not stand up for someone that takes tens of thousands of photos a year and is heavily into tagging, but it makes my life simple.
