Most mobile clients you're going to get your search and browsing through OPDS - so a library and a search function, but no tag support. Just (afaik) author, title, publisher, year, etc.

So that kind of fuzzy sorting is, at best, limited to the web interface for servers that support it (like Kavita). Which means browsing in almost any context native to a reader device/app is not going to support tagging.

If that changes, then sure, it could be plenty useful as a single giant list with neatly browsable tags. As of what's out there now and usable (again, afaik) it is not.

Kavita does that, which is what I use (though through the web interface, not using opds on an android app for example), but it would still make browsing just a giant single list.

And I agree, fuzzy has value, which is why I don't want to separate major things like Science Fiction vs Fantasy. But there isn't exactly going to be significant overlap between historical romance novels and an instructional book on erlang, so that book on erlang is just going to get lost in the library.

That's why I separate, it's just too much for a single large directory.

The software is kind of irrelevant for the sorting though. I use calibre as part of the import process to grab metadata, but it's how it's saved after that I'm talking about here.

Straightforward, and I like it. Thanks for sharing!

That's why I don't separate out the fiction. But one giant library of books including fiction and non-fiction isn't very browsable, just searchable.

Darktable and krita.

Most of the time you don't even need to leave darktable. Great support for raws.

Anything video, kdenlive is ok for quick stuff but davinvi resolve is a cut above.

Honestly Adobe products are not great anymore. Their usability has gone down the toilet imo. xd was the last bit of interest for me, and that went to garbage a long while ago when it went paid only.

This whole thread and not one mention of Sorcerer's Apprentice or the national treasure that is National Treasure?

For shame.
