I´ve mentioned a thorough inventory- clean up on my latest statement. Within the last weeks the topic came up in the forums, repetitively and my system was always complimented when I explained how I sort my inventory.
Back in ...2009? I hopped on a Posestand and didn´t leave it for 6 weeks (yeah you read that right...) taking raw, simple pics for EVERY fuckin item I bought...
Those pictures are hilarious I tell ya!! Naked with only a shirt, bald with nothing but a pair of jeans, blurry face but the dress rezzed just fine. Stuff like that.
On my HDD (synched with Dropbox and Nextcloud) I created the exact subfolders that I have inworld.
Actually... I didn´t take pics of EVERYthing... I just started to weed out and catalogize all those accessories, followed by furniture, makeup, poses and photo stuff. You bet I´ll be so glad when that´s all done cos I have no idea what everything is and I basically do need that shit, spech when I think of going back to blogging.
Erm... I´m derivating. Where was I? Oh... right! Every time I buy something new I put it in either "zum auspacken" (unpack) or if it comes unpacked it goes into "einsortieren und knipsen" (sort and snap). As soon as a picture of it is saved offline it goes in the corresponding inworld folder.
If I am hunting or raiding gifts I might go some days without unpacking and snapping pics, but I try to keep that up. Plus it helps me procrastinate with the remaining folders of horror! I do start to see a massive impact though, starting at 83k I´m now down to 62k items. Plus I throw out sizes I don´t wear and all those rezzing poses that want to animate your avatar during unpacking, unpacking scripts and stuff.I do have back ups in my "Do not delete" Folder and if all else fails there´s usually redelivery ;).
This system works like a charm for me and I´ve been thinking about giving classes about it back in the days. Who knows what might happen?
Till then,
love,
Kasha
