This is one of those questions where I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or so many other people are, but I can't work out why it's so hard to find a way to go through a big directory of videos or images in a gallery/viewer manually and easily say this one should go in folder A, that one in B, this one in D, that one in A; without having to - for each file - close the gallery (memorizing the filename), find it in the current directory among thousands of others, also find the destination and open that in another window, copy/move/drag the file to the destination.

What I'm looking for:

  • A video and image gallery
  • Some kind of sidebar with shortcuts to favourited/saved paths
  • The ability to easily move the image or video that I am currently viewing to one of these shortcuts either via drag or clicking move>move to>shortcut to folder A

Am I crazy/stupid or is it unneccessarily hard to do this task in an ergonomic way? I have all my photos and videos sent and received on my phone over the years to sort through... deleting is no problem, finding duplicates is easy but how do people actually do the organizing? Any methods, software suggestions welcome.

 

Edit: or another plausible method is being able to easily apply a tag to each file from the viewer, so you watch a video and can quickly click on or type a tag..
