Hey everyone,

I have a ton of pngs, jpgs, webps, mostly of fantasy art. I want to be able to mass-tag them with things like "character", "environment", "elf", "demon", etc. and then view them based on tags. Can anyone recommend software like this for linux? Bonus points if it also works on windows. Thanks!

An other solution could be exiftool by Phil Harvey. Don't judge by how the website looks... It's probably the best and most complete tool to edit the metadata directly into your images (and way to much other formats xD).

Even though it's very well documented, exiftool is very complex and there's a lot to read and grasp before getting comfortable with it. There's always the forum if you have any question, but before asking the forum go through the FAQ (yes I know it's huge... But as starting point look at number 11) and search a similar question in the forum.

Here I found a topic that looks like what you're a looking for:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
