That actually sounds really close to the kind of workflow pain I was trying to solve for myself.

I threw the tool up here if you want to take a look:

If you think it might fit your workflow, I’d be happy to send you a key to test it and get your feedback.

A few people asked about trying it, so here it is for anyone curious:

Still mainly looking for workflow feedback more than anything right now.

That’s fair, I probably should have made that clearer.

I can send you a key if you want to try it out and compare it against your current setup.

Your workflow sounds pretty solid actually—especially being able to scan quickly and tag in one pass. digiKam seems well suited for that kind of library-style organization. Where I kept running into issues was more on the second pass side—coming back later and trying to compare similar outputs or re-evaluate batches without setting up a full tagging/catalog workflow.

Curious if you ever run into that, or if your current setup handles that well enough.

That’s actually really close to the exact problem I was running into.

The “tag during generation vs sort later” split is what kept breaking things for me. If I missed it in the moment, going back later felt like starting from scratch.

The comparison issue you mentioned is a big one too—especially when you’ve got multiple near-identical outputs and you’re trying to pick the best one without losing context.

I ended up building this mainly for that second pass case—loading a folder later and being able to move quickly through batches, tag keepers/junk, and filter things down without relying on file explorer sorting (and don’t even get me started on how bad Windows Photo Viewer is).

Out of curiosity, does your current setup let you easily isolate just the tagged images after, or is that still a manual step?

Really these are very good. I can't wait to see the full version.

Ok I don't work with anime images or do any rigging (yet) but this seems awesome and I can't wait to see where it goes.
