Formerly known as CICM in Sourceforge by Tachara.

TIM is a tag based image management software. It is written in python and it uses tkinter fot its GUI. The tag information is stored in an SQLite database.

• Any number of tags for any image
• Thumbnail view of the images
• Full size view of images
• Searching images by tags
• Fully usable by keyboard(mostly implemented)
• Fully usable by mouse(partially implemented)
• Collections(partially implemented)
• Export and import collections(not implemented)
• Open images in another program(not implemented)

Collections are a way to group tags and use those groups to find images. Basically they are stored search queries. Export and import will enable sharing images and their tags.

Run

tim.py [database]

The database argument is the filename of the database to use. If the file exists it has to be a valid TIM database or the program will crash. If the file does not exist it will be created.

The database is a basic sqlite database file with the following structure

• tags(id INTEGER, name TEXT)
• files(id INTEGER, name TEXT, path INTEGER, date INTEGER) foreing key(path) references paths(id)
• paths(id INTEGER, name TEXT)
• file_tags(file_id INTEGER, tag_id INTEGER) foreing key(file_id) references files(id) foreing key(tag_id) references tags(id)
• collections(id INTEGER, name TEXT)
• collection_tags(collection_id INTEGER, tag_id) foreing key(collection_id) references collections(id) foreing key(tag_id) references tags(id)

See db.py for more details.
