What's your workflow for tagging personally curated collections of files, anons? I never use any mass downloaders. All my files going into Hydrus were at some point manually selected by me. My tagging process is,
>Choose a folder to start tagging, preferably under 500 files
>Go through every image that could exist on a booru and verify it via SauceNao
>Use url downloader every time there's a hit
>Import the folder into Hydrus while mass tagging all files with at least 1 tag based on the folder it came from
>Delete inferior dupes and make sure the booru tags are moved to superior ones if needed
>Archive all url imports that need no further tagging as their dupes are deleted
>Add a sparse few personal tags not from boorus to url imports if needed, then archive them
>Hide deleted files in folder import
>Choose a trait common to many files and start multi-tagging groups of files based on this trait.
>Repeat until there are no common traits
>Go through every file individually and add tags that are less common, archiving each file that's done being tagged
This is the most efficient process I've come up with so far. I can mostly skip tagging for anything that exists in a booru. Picking a trait common to many files and going through the whole set just looking for the presence of that trait makes sure I don't forget it for chunks of files, and allows me to semi-mass tag, which really speeds things up. I was originally doing all the tags for a single file at once, but then I was going through files one at a time, and I'd quite often forget one of the things I was looking for, or discover a new common trait to look out for and tag. This meant a lot of backtracking through images I thought I had finished tagging, and had already archived.
