How do you organize your downloads?

<< < (3/3)

Poztron:
I have a folder on an external hard-drive named Old Comics within which I have folders by Publisher. Within those folders I have folders by comic title. And within those comic folders I have the files renamed to something on this order:

Christmas Carnival #2 (StJ) Geller-Flip-Nordling-Story-Berg.cbz

Sometimes I skip the publisher in parentheses, but as much as possible I like to ID the artists in the book, because that's what I like to see at a glance. I generally ID as much as I can from signed stories and go to GCD for the rest (when they are indexed there). I don't bother with the date because I can see that easily if I open the file. The trickiest part has been seeking out scans for a specific comic if I can't recall who the publisher was. But a quick search at GCD usually solves that, too.

I think everyone organizes them according to their own priorities. (I also have a sort of holding tank folder called Unread Comics, where I tend to first put files before IDing art and renaming the files. At the moment that has 264 files in it.)

narfstar:
Poz if you are IDing art or find anything not on GCD please go there and contribute that information. I do not know if you have ever tried indexing a book before the new system or after. With the current system you can do as little or as much as you like. If you would just go in and put the story title, page count and artist it would be providing the information for others like you get from it.

Good point, narfy, and I ought to do that. I did try under the old GCD system but got intimidated or confused. So, I mostly sent in corrections by email or some correction link. I owe it to myself to see how it can be handled with the new system. Now just to find the time!

roberto:

I put the digital files under publisher title in general. I rename the stuff to put in sequential order the files to easily see the stuff.
And , since i like some semblance of physical stuff (and to keep a back up , i put similar stuff in DVD  , and create a cover for it (i use the nero cover designer to create the ocver and the results are good).

ThW:
Quite simple: There is a map for the fresh downloads. And a storage map, containing "00-Theme" maps, so jungle, superheroes western, SF comics and the like can be placed together if they are not belonging in one of the publisher maps. The Publisher maps contain a number of series maps. (If there is just one series-map from a publisher it goes in one of the 00-theme maps, unless I expect to add others relatively soon, if it's hard to place thematically it goes  in 00-other), If the series has been published by more than one publisher it goes in MultiPublisher map.
