Freeware Image Organizer (Especially Tags/Keywords)?

<< < (3/11) > >>

Well, I tried out blueMarine. I knew that it was in beta testing, but I expected to at least be able to view pics. I 'imported' a folder... then nothing. Then I read through the support and FAQ. blueMarine actually copies your pics to build a contact sheet. In my opinion, not the best way to work with pics, especially when I've got over 12,000 pics (and yes, I did upload small folders in lieu of the whole 'My Pictures' folder).

So I'm still on the quest for a pic app. If only FastStone IV would support tags and search capabilities... I think I'm gonna email FastStone and suggest those features (but I'm sure I'm not the first to do so). Also, I think I've already tried Pictomio, but I may give it another shot.

Have you tried iPhoto yet?
It is for windows.
And I have just started experimenting with it.
Seems fast and to the point with good options.

There is also TaggedFrog that has recently been updated,
it works as well with pics and docs and more.

There was a free version of IDimager up until a while back - they're not offering it any more
I had a look at Last Freeware Version site but they dont seem to have a search :tellme:

It's been highly recommended here [dc I mean!]

Have you tried http://www.rawtherapee.com/ ? It is not a browser per se, it is a non destructive photo editor like adobe lightroom(I use both). It does not offer conventional tagging(select-click) but it has iptc support. The latest version offers star based ranking.

I need to catch up and check out those other apps you recommended. I've spent a few hours trying to coax iTag into working correctly. Though it's not designed for image viewing, it is very much geared towards tagging. The only problem is that it really can't handle large numbers of files at a time. Plus, after loading the images to be tagged iTag decides to load 'high-res' thumbnails, which is a real pain in the ass when you just want to do some basic tagging. iTag is quite 'fragile'; it hangs up when you confront it with more than a couple hundred pics. I'll try the last few suggestions after fiddling with iTag a bit more; I really want it to work. Simplicity is key for this type of app, I've learned.
