How does /g/ name their folders?

>>107038593 (OP)
based on what they do?
retarded question

i give all of them the same name and distinguish them by directory depth

>>107038604
this nigga a girl lmao

>>107038593 (OP)
I do this and I need to stop, all photos and folders I just spam my keyboard. Whenever my downloads folder gets too big I just move everything into a new folder and start fresh because I'm a piece of shit

>>107038593 (OP)
a bit like the bottom but I limit it to 3 char max

>>107038593 (OP)
Definitely not the bottom. I like being able to run a file search and find what I'm looking for within seconds.

you end up remembering the nuanced letter spam i know ghxhh.png will be a pic i exported in gimp you just memorize these things, its no different that remembering a word you gave to a file

Anyone using Windows with more than half a brain understands you don't keep anything valuable in the default directories. There's too much risk of Microsoft either copying it without you knowing or fucking up the files with some new buggy "feature".

Do it for 10 years with thousands of files and directories and come back to me. When I switched to Linux a year ago, I took the opportunity to completely restructure my filesystem layout, and honestly it's been a massive QoL improvement.

Main Folder: Pictures
Subfolders: Reaction Images, Camera Roll, Backgrounds, etc.
Sub-Subfolders (In this case, Reaction Images): Pepe, Wojaks, and assorted images within the subfolder. Attached is an example from the Pepe folder.
In all honestly, I don't understand how people don't sort and name their files. I didn't name the files properly on my old school chromebook, and they became an absolute mess to deal with.

>>107038593 (OP)
Every year or two I come up with a new system where I migrate some stuff from the old system and dump everything else in a folder called "Sort Later" or something like that. If you go deep enough, you can get to the way I sorted shit when I was 12

To be fair, newer generations mainly use phones. And if thats your first experience with computers i can understand not knowing about file structures. When you download an imagen where does it go? To the gallery of course. Phones pretty much act like files don't exist.

Like a girl, apparently.

I like to use numbers to organize even further. I have a folder called "00 Projects" which always shows up at first. Inside it, subfolders for each project. If I'm working on a project right now I'll name it "00 myproject" and when I'm done, I take the numbers away. Every year I back up everything into yearly folders and start over.

>>107038593 (OP)
i use comprehensible names because im not 5 y.o. and i need to know what the fuck things represent withou having to remember what "6ytrrrgh" is

i dont understand folders

depends on what's stored in them and I use underlined instead of space and CamelCase, for example;
>OP's_mom_SucksMuhDick
>OP's_mom_Anal
>OP's_mom_with_ButtPlug
>OP's_mom_with_dildo
>OP's_mom_goatse_gape

Man creates his own abbreviations system, adds dvd in case a fellow man needs access to the rips.

all on the desktop with funny or descriptors. i'm a dekstop negro that's for sure.

Anything intended to actually be organized gets a descriptive but usually infantile name

Anything throwaway is just a variation of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I name files and sort them into directories and subdirectories with descriptive but somewhat short paths the best I can, so long as I have the patience to do so. Organizing music is high priority, organizing frog pictures is low priority.
My porn folders are each behind both a hidden directory and another dir named '--help' so it's slightly harder to cd into one by one, unless you already know it's there.

>>107038593 (OP)
I name my files based on whats i'n e'm.
I name my tax stuff "tax." I name my assignments "assignments." I name my funny stuff "funnies."
My porn folder is called something less obvious, though.

When I get a lot of shit on the desktop I shove it all into subfolders and once ever year or so I go through them and sort them out. Most of it goes into the bin or porn folder.

>>107038593 (OP)
If it's a temporary directory I usually just call it something with "nig" or "nigger" in the name with random characters.
These files later become permanent when I forget to organize the files it contains.

Cause effectively all my memes disappear gotta use new ones

Woman file-naming is personalizing everything to be about yourself: "My Pictures", "My Music". etc. A learned man makes autistic amounts of subfolders to minimize noise. I dump all files into one of 6 or 7 mega folders with a bunch of subfolders in each, all of which is in a giant container called "Archive". For example:

>MEDIA/
>>Film
>>TV
>>Music
>>Radio
>>Podcasts
>>Youtube Videos
>>Art & Illustrations
>>Wallpapers
>>News Clips
>>Interviews
>>Gifs

Whole lot of pajeet-tier organization ITT.

Everything saved to Downloads. Once a day transfer everything to its home. Mostly Pictures, Music, Games, Files, Porn, or Videos. Pictures has the most subfolders arranged by 4chan boards as categories, plus a couple extras like Wallpapers. Games has folders for each emulator then a PC folder. All games internal even those that don't need it and Files internal because it's where the important shit is, Pictures and Music and Videos and Porn external. Porn is a clusterfuck but that's on purpose because I'm a bi degenerate.

Plain English just works.
There are actual monkeys here just rolling their faces on the keyboard for file and folder names? Good lawd.

\Miscellaneous
\temp
\Photos
\Stable Diffusion
\Taxes
\Recordings

No weird quirks. I just need functional names, not bullshit. If I cannot decide on a subfolder name, I use the current date or current month + year (Jan2025, Aug2025, Mar-25-2025, etc.). Unsorted files I prefer to stick in their own folder and call it "to be sorted".

>>107038683
You need hydrus to sort your media files by tag while downloading more, dupe checking images, and quality filtering

I ussed to do it like the boys. But after 5 yearrs worth of solid trans conversion therapy I now name folders like the girls. Stll have my penis though I have been converted to thinkpads so it's even right now trooons.

Lately whenever I slam my keyboard to temporarily name an unknown imageset, using at least nine characters to avoid dupes, the string "jew" shows up so consistently near the end that I've started deleting it out
And even when there isn't one of those there's usually "jwe or "jrew"
It didn't used to be like this, my fingers just know...

Am I the only person who names folders by date? find it incredibly easier to find stuff that way.
