Allusion-rafauc is a fork of Allusion, a tool built for artists, aimed to help you organize your Visual Library – a single place that contains your entire collection of references, inspiration and any other kinds of images.
Allusion stores your tags and locations and related files in a database. This database can be exported by creating a backup in the Settings (S) > Import/Export tab clicking the Backup database to file button.
This is free and open source software.
