    I’ve actually tried to do that with pictures/art, but none of the tools I have to do so make it easy. The Windows photo viewer from Windows XP, which I can’t seem to get anymore, was actually pretty okay at it.

    But the truth is that even then it required more effort than I was willing to put in, and I was never able to anticipate every tag I would eventually want. If I didn’t feel like tagging something the moment I saved it, it generally never got tagged.

    At this point an AI to do it would be amazing. I have thousands and thousands of pieces of potential character art, but when I want something with specific features it’s not easy to find.

      I don’t blame you. Even in a professional setting tagging is mind numbing and tedious. The only difference is without tagging you might miss an image that can be licensed and the business opportunity that needed it.

        The one that can still be enabled is still not the original version that had the tools I’m thinking of; I’ve tried several guides to re-enable it and it does give me an older photo viewer, but never quite the one I had back in XP.

          Windows is fairly good at running old EXEs. Trying spinning up an XP vm and just yanking the old photo viewer.
