Glad to find someone else who puts this much effort into organizing their library. 🙂

My approach is pretty similar, except I keep everything on my phone in an app.

I've finally finished both of my databases now. One for Renderosity with more than 3,000 items and one for DAZ with over 6,000 items. Every item now has its preview image, invoice number and price, description, tags, and category assigned.

With a single click on a tag, category, or figure, I can instantly see all items that share that attribute. So now I can select M4 and get a complete list of everything I own for M4, or choose something like Scenes and see all scene products, or filter for rocks, clothing, and so on.

The image previews were actually the main reason I started this project. Quite often I see something in the store and immediately think, "Wait, don't I already have something similar?" Sometimes I end up buying it anyway, and sometimes I try to find a similar item in my library.

That search is much easier now. For example, if I see a cool apartment environment, I can quickly check whether I already own something comparable that I could simply convert or adapt.

Well... let's be honest. If I really love something in the store, I'm probably going to buy it anyway instead of recreating it. XD I'm way too lazy for that, and my inner collector wants to own it regardless.

But when it comes to finding specific characters or assets, the app has become a huge help.

Now I just have to keep it up to date. 🙂
