What is the best tool or methodology for managing thousands of graphic files? [closed]

Question

Graphical asset management (for icons, etc.)

I have licensed several icon libraries which contain thousands of icons spread across hundreds of directories. I would like a convenient way to visually scan through the icons to find an appropriate one for the task at hand. Out of these thousand of icons, my application uses perhaps 200 hundred. It would be nice to be able to tag the icons I chose so I knew which ones I used in my applications (currently, I manually update a Word document to serve this purpose).

I would also consider Picasa/PicasaWeb. The added benefit to this approach is that once you tag and organize your images you can easily sync those to your Picasa Web account and access them from anywhere. It makes good use of tagging photos.
