Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Game dev here and have over 3K pictures for concept art that I have to sort through. I have it organized through folders but this system is broken because no tagging. I tried DigiCam but after numerous attempts it crashes upon generating a database file with no exception messages. Since the developer doesn’t care about being transparent I don’t want to run into issues later on and fight with it so now I’m on the fence if I should develop my own and open-source it or keep fighting with it.

I was recommended to come here and ask because you all live and breathe this so really hoping to find something to get me back on track. FOSS only please!

Eagle hit me with an error that they can't process in an import >15 directory hierarchies so that was an instant uninstall. Sadly. It looked quite promising.
