Content identity
Images are identified by SHA-256 while file locations are tracked separately. Incremental rescans skip unchanged files, and renames or moves do not discard catalog knowledge.
IMAGE TAGGER
Features
Database-native image management with the filesystem left intact.
Fast viewing and navigation
Lazy thumbnails, bounded caches, fit/actual-size controls, fullscreen presentation, slideshow mode and keyboard navigation are built into the desktop viewer.
Search and similarity
Search filenames, paths and tags, find exact-byte duplicates and surface perceptual-similarity results without rewriting source images.
Collections
Create ordered JSON collections, import and export Geeqie .gqv files, drag images into independent collection windows and preserve missing-file visibility.
File operations with a safety rail
Copy, move, trash and rename operations are session-undoable. Trash uses a persistent user-selected directory and collision-safe filenames.
Local auto-tagging
Optional WD v3 ONNX tagging runs locally with bounded CPU use. Checkpoints are keyed by content identity plus provider, model and vocabulary so cosmetic filesystem changes do not rerun inference.
Continuous reconciliation
New image hashes can be discovered while the viewer is running, and startup catch-up rescans registered roots for content added while the application was closed.
Explicit boundaries
GIF displays the first frame only. EXIF/RAW tooling, printing, grouping, split view, calendar, pan and timeline views are intentionally outside the current product boundary.
