Top Reddit reviews mentioning Duplicate Images Finder Apps:
i use this to find dupes. You just have to put all your images on a folder somewhere and it will tell you which ones are dupes and you can also delete them on the stop. I have found it to be pretty useful.
Searching for "(1)" should do the trick. Special characters like parentheses are often used for more complicated search queries, but surrounding them with quotation marks will cause them to be treated like normal.
Incidentally, there are also various programs out there that can automatically find duplicate images for you, even if the filenames aren't similar. I personally use Anti Twin.
After 3 months of working as a complete beginner with Rust and GTK, I must say that this combination is quite pleasant to use.
I use Glade to set up graphical elements(just drag and drop) and then code them which really decrease amount of work with GUI.
So far I've only created one application with about 4000 lines of code using GTK https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/tree/master/czkawka_gui/src.
As someone who also manages a fairly large wallpaper collection (11.6k), I suggest you use VisiPics. It scans folders for duplicate images, so you can keep the duplicates out of your collection.
Thanks for these. I collect Huey photos and there were a whole bunch in here that I didn't have. I have the same problem with duplicates, there must be a bit of software that recognizes duplicate photos based on image content, irrespective of size, compression etc? I'll google for one.
Edit: Found visipics, looks hopeful
Now that you have all your photos again one handy tool to download is Visipix. It is a visual photo duplicate detector. Because it is comparing the files visually it will detect images that are the same but different resolutions and other similar duplicate but not exact duplicate images.(although watch out for it trying to delete your touched up versions of photos). So if you have duplicate file names just keep them both and let Visipix take care of them after the fact.
Next I would check out PhotoMove. It will help you sort all those photos by year and month based on the date taken in the exif data(meta data left by the camera itself). This will cut your sorting down by a ton.
After you get everything sorted and deduplicated I would upload the whole thing to Google photos. They don't keep the original version but the high res versions are close enough and it makes a good back up. It also allows you to search them by location.
visipics is very good for finding duplicate images, it will also give you previews of the duplicate images and give you size info at the bottom. Simple as set filter > scan > wait > mark for deletion > delete/move
Edit: You can also get it to move the images to another folder if you want to keep them for some reason.
If there are images that look very similar but are different id suggest setting the filter to strict and going into options and disabling loosen filter automatically
It can also scan for 90° rotations if you have images that are the same but rotated.
This is a fantastic program. And it's free. http://www.visipics.info/
It not only can find identical pictures, but very similar pictures. For instance, different sized versions of the same picture. Or two pictures, one with a border or one with text, or one with a slightly different tint, or two pictures taken a second apart, etc.
Hard to argue with that list list... except maybe switch out flameshot for ksnip, and obsidian for Joplin. Add in kooha for simple screen recording, maybe lollipop for music?
Of the smaller more "utility-like" apps... here's a segment from my post install file relating to Rust apps. It may or may not help:
cargo install bat # purdy cat
cargo install bandwhich # display current network utilization by process
# cargo install castor # GTK gemini, gopher, finger client
cargo install czkawka_gui # https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka
cargo install czkawka_cli # remove unnecessary files from your computer.
cargo install du-dust # du alternative; bin is dust
cargo install exa # drop-in replacement for ls
cargo install fd-find # a better find than find?
cargo install git-delta # file diffing
cargo install grex # provide pattern... it offers a possible regex
cargo install hyperfine # performance monitor
cargo install procs # procs is a modern replacement for ps
cargo install ripgrep #rg.. a better grep?
cargo install skim # FZF alternative; bin issk
cargo install sd # more intuitive thansed

EDIT: Formatting ... reddit markdown hates backtcks
There are a few different ways to run code from GitHub. This project, it seems, has an external site they maintain to host the installers and such at this link: antidupl. You can download an exe from there.
I didn’t look at the source code, so use at your own risk.
Recently had lots of duplicates to get rid of. Much better than second best Dupeguru is imo Anti-Twin. Others like CloneSpy, Duplicate Files Finder, Doublekiller, Search My Files were even less helpful. All the other simular apps even worse. Anti-Twin: http://www.joerg-rosenthal.com/en/antitwin/
That's maybe a bit late as you're already uploading, but if you want to search for duplicate pictures to delete them, you can try visipics
And thanks for this album !
VisiPics is what I use, has a nice amount of configuration I think you might benefit from. Idk of a OSX app to do this, so unless you have access to a Windows PC I guess this is a useless post.
I recently used VisiPics for just such a project. Note that there are better tools for finding exact file matches, but this one does work more like TinEye, and you can set thresholds for similarity.
I use a open source program called czkawka. You can use the command line to find any duplicate files or use their GUI.
​
It support probably since 2.4.0 version, but looks that usage is quite unintuitive for some users - https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/issues/373#issuecomment-903248098.
I've been using this for years. Excellent program. Works really well with Auslogics Duplicate File Finder and Total Commander to eliminate wasted space on your HDD.
http://www.visipics.info/index.php?title=Main_Page
I have used this before and it worked well. Not sure if it is still supported but it does a good job analyzing the photos for a percentage match and can auto process.
I used this http://www.duplicate-finder.com/photo.html
and this: http://www.visipics.info/index.php?title=Main_Page
to remove duplicates from my collection.
Edit: It would be awesome if you can take the good collection, zip it and then upload it somewhere (mega.nz?)
Try this https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/releases
I honestly have NO IDEA if it'll work but it was posted recently on reddit here https://reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/p09av3/czkawka_320_arrives_to_remove_your_duplicate/
The problem you're probably running into is that there's files in your iTunes folder that aren't in your iTunes Library for whatever reason. You'll have to find an app like Gemini or Araxis FDF to sort through your iTunes media folders for you.
VisiPics is what I use and it finds duplicate with different resolutions. I love it.
This one is ~~free~~ may or may not be free. Link has a price but the app store description says free. It is on the app store if that matters to you.
Edit: Maybe not free anymore.
Awesome! I personally use SimilarImages, which also gives you the option to keep one image, but give it the filename of the other. I found it surprisingly hard to find a program that actually detects every duplicate though, a lot of them are a bit sloppy :O
You have several problems here.
For removing duplicates there are many solutions out there. I personally use AntiTwin. Very old and free program. Very small and it doesn't need installation. It fits for my purposes. Very simple to use, just take care at settings: do not leave it to do content / byte by byte comparison - do just name and size comparison. Also, bump the max number of duplicates as much as you can.
For image management I use XnView MP - very fast - near-realtime thumbnail generation, very scalable, free, cross-platform, a ton of features. If you don't know something you can ask on their forums. It doesn't need "Import" phases or similar.
From now on make a new folder structure like this:
<year> \ <month> \ <your folder name>
"Your folder name" can be the default one but I strongly advise against that. Do as you wish. In this way, you will avoid duplicates in future.
Anti-Twin I use it more for finding duplicate files but can can find duplicate images even if they are a different format from each other. Its pretty powerful.
Searching for duplicates pictures with software is relatively easy, I like the tool called Anti-Twin, for that purpose, which should help with the first issue.
For the sorting issue, I would suggest using Irfanview, basically download and install it. Then right click the folder with the pictures in them. You should see a new option called Browse with Irfanview, then Irfanview will load up in thumbnail view. Then when Thumnails view is open you can click on the options menu and select Load Thumbs from all subfolders, this can take a while when lots of photos are being looked at, so please be patient. Also there is another option in the options menu names called Set thumbnail options.. you can use it to increase or decrease the size of the thumbnails.
As for sorting, just press and hold control on your keyboard then select all the images you want, then right click on the selection and choose move selected files, a new window should open up and the new window will allow you to add a number of folders you wish to move the file to and then you just have to click the corresponding button and the files will be moved to that folder.
First I want to add, disable the admin account for security, especially if you have your NAS exposed to the internet.
I’d copy from DSM in the browser, the photos from admin account to user1 and then run a duplicate file scanner app on the Moments directory.
I use VisiPics to check and remove duplicates.
VisiPics, on windows at least, it was always best even as a linux user I've ran it in a vm on a samba share against 8 millions images and it performs really well.
There is a program for that on the computer. It’s called Visipics (I made a post on it more than a year ago at r/declutter ) which is free, but not for Macs. My dad uses it and it helped him a lot.
Download them all, get a software that detects duplicates and deletes them, create a new google account and upload all remaining pictures > share albums with your main account. You should download them regularly anyway in case you get locked out of your account for some reason.
Software that detects duplicates:
http://www.visipics.info/index.php?title=Main_Page is free but if you have that many pictures or you need something more professional feel free to spend some money on a more advanced tool (there are tons I don't want to turn this post into advertisement though)
For images I use VisiPics. It's free and finds not only images that are exact duplicates, but also those that are similar, like the same image in different resolutions/states of compression.
So if you're an idiot like me and don't sort your stuff, the program VisiPics will save your ass.
Select a folder and it will scan for images that look alike (so not the exact same, it might pick up your before/after cumshot pics, set the filter slider to strict to surprise make it more strict). When it's done it will show all images it detected to the left and you can select which ones to delete (I always keep the highest resolution, shown at the bottom).
Try Visipics.
VisiPics, it's function is to analyze all your images and find duplicates. It's a really powerful tool i used all the time.
Here's the info on it
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn520872.aspx
The file name shouldn't matter, but different exif data -> different file content -> different filehash.
I've used a free app called VisiPics for this purpose before though, and it worked pretty well.
http://www.visipics.info/index.php?title=Main_Page
Find the two folders on your hard drive. Mark the folder you prefer to keep original pictures and then click on the square + (1). Then mark the folder you want to delete the duplicates from and click on square + (1). The folder highest on the list will keep the orginal pictures, and the folder below will be chosen if any duplicates for deletion.
Choose strict if you only want to delete pictures that are accurate duplicates, not images that are similar.
Press the green square to start the progress finding duplicates.
After the progress is done, press "auto-select". This will pick images from the folder you chosed last on step 1.
Delete/move images to complete the progress.
If you have any questions, i'll gladly answer them. Either here or a PM.
img 2329 WTF? also some other pics are completly unreleated (like a 5 :P)
Anyway you should use something like VisiPics to avoid having too much duplicates ( for example single picture of Nonon is like 6+ time duplicated there )
Found few nice pics that weren't in my collection, nice share thanks :)
sweet collection, but you have a lot of duplicates
I had this problem a while back and found Visipics.
It will help get rid of most of the duplicates!
http://www.visipics.info/index.php?title=Main_Page
Visipics. Free! I use it to weed out dupes in my collection. You can even set the threshold of how closely or loosely it matches to find the same image at different resolutions, or even different images from the same set. It's an amazing app.
Great collection! I was happy to see a few fresh faces in there!
For the future, I suggest you consider using VisiPics to remove any duplicates.
I currently use AllDup
The user interface is not very intuitive, but it works well finding duplicate images. It has several image hash function (aHash, bHash, dHash etc), and you can also set the minimum percentage matching of the two pictures.
I think this is a two-step process.
First, a de-duplicator. Czkawka will have you covered and is fast. You can preview and compare via file hashes.
The second is to do a scan for files older than X and you can manually review them for removal. any scripting or programming language can do this.
So... if I've understood correctly, you want to find duplicates?
If that's the case I saw this tool by a fellow Hoarder not too long ago: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka
The following works to build and run a macOS GUI. It should theoretically be bundle-able into a MacOS .app package, but I am not familiar enough with Rust to do so.
First: open Terminal.app. Run the following commands, which respectively installs a compiler, the Homebrew package manager, GTK and Rust, and Czkawka.
# xcode-select --install # /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" # brew install rust gtk+3 # curl -L https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/archive/2.0.0.tar.gz | tar -zxvf - # cd czkawka-2.0.0 # cargo run --bin czkawka_gui
Uninstall that malware "cleaner" app before it has a chance to break something or delete files it shouldn't.
Assuming you have a computer with Windows, install VisiPics on your computer, move all the photos to your computer, and use VisiPics to find the duplicates. It's completely free and runs locally without an internet connection.
Relatively new tool called Czkawka will do it for you:
https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/releases
​
BTW. I've had similar issue like you due to multiple backups of the same devices. For photos downloaded from smartphones I wrote a simple script renaming photos to a date and time when the photo was taken. Some very old devices didn't save EXIF info properly, but we are talking about 2008 or so and older. All newer devices don't have problems with EXIF data and the script works great. That was a simple was to find duplicates before Czkawka.
​
I hope it helps..
Both CLI and GUI have same core, but due limited time I work mostly on adding features to GUI.
As I wrote in README file, for CLI usage I suggest to use one of this apps - https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka#cli
> Remove support for finding zeroed files > > Why? This was really useful...
I found this. No idea if the workaround works for your purposes, might be worth a try.
I think BleachBit is generally what is recommended now, which is open-source.
Personally, I've been more of a fan of czkawka as I prefer to use Rust-based app (primarily since they're often newer so unburdened by old designs) though it isn't like I'm against using python, electron, (insert other unpopular framework here) if it's the best option.
In this case, I mainly need something focused on finding duplicate, large, and other junk files. Czkawka fits that perfectly and allows swapping files with symlink so it's an easy way to deduplicate files safely for me.
I've been using czkawka on Linux but the page says it also runs on Macs. From the GUI you have to click "+ Add" and select the directories. If you don't add some then it won't search that path.
You are looking for something which can compute perceptual hashes of images and then show you the matches.
Haven’t used it in a while, but this tool has an option for computing image similarity - https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka
Looking through their git repo, I'd say that you run a high risk of borking your system with that app. The examples they show would delete parts of user source repositories, among other things.
I'd advise you to get more familiar with where your files end up. As long as you use your package manager as your primary source of apps, you can keep your installation clean without third party tools :)
I'm not sure if czkawka does that exact thing but if it doesn't, its readme mentions other duplicate finders with features it doesn't have, like FSlint, DupeGuru, Bleachbit, and Fclones.

Try Similar Images from DownThemAll's dev. Works fine on 64bit Win 8.1
> SimilarImages is a utility program to analyze and search large media collections (images/videos) for near duplicates, meaning media showing the same thing but e.g. in different file formats, compression levels, sizes. SimilarImages first analyzes a file, generating a color/location footprint of a normalized thumbnail image of a file, and then compares these footprints. Analyzation results will be cached and stored on disk, so that subsequent runs become faster. > > SimilarImages is a rather old tool I started developing a long time ago. While it does the job at hand fairly well, due to the legacy code base it is not feasible to develop new features or significantly improved matching without a major effort, one which I cannot provide at the moment. Hence there will be no significant new features, incl. Windows 64-bit (32-bit runs on 64-bit Windows), Mac OSX or Linux versions. You might however have luck with WINE.
If you are not a software engineer, why you want to run it locally? You have a download page for this software so you can simply use it if that is your intention: https://ermig1979.github.io/AntiDupl/english/index.html?page=download.html
For Windows I always recommend Antidupl.NET for image deduplication. If needed, it can find near-duplicates as well, with some visual differences.
It's very fast compared to any of the other programs I've tried. And best of all: it's free.
If you're comfortable using the command line; you can use the "mv" (move) command.
mv -n /path/to/source/* /path/to/dest/
The "-n" option tells "mv" not to overwrite an existing files. This should leave you with a merged destination folder, and a source folder with duplicates.
You can then use something like Find Duplicate Files (free for 7 days) to weed out any duplicates in the destination folder.
A bunch of these images came from the WLPPR app for iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wlppr-high-res-images-for-home-and-lock-screen/id991182525?mt=8
It looks like your Imgur album/Google Drive folder has lots of duplicate images. If you run the Duplicate File Finder & Remover app on that folder, it'll help you clean up the duplicates really easily: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/duplicate-file-finder-remover/id1152611077?mt=12
You should try Duplicate Media Finder. This tool can search for duplicates directly in Google drive, so you do not need to download them before on your local disk. As this software is very fast, it is useful if you have hundreds of thousands photos. It will find similar pictures.
http://www.joerg-rosenthal.com/en/antitwin/similar.html
At a minimum it seems to supports JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, EXIF, TIF and ICON It is based upon windows GDI+, It seems from a quick glance it may not be possible to add other formats to the normal GDI+ without the developer supporting additional codecs for GDI+ as they are called by a slightly different method,
> However, my files are scattered through the SD and the HD and sometimes it's difficult to manage them
This is an indication of poor file management. Don't worry we are all guilty of this to some extent or other. The first thing to do is use a tool like Windirstat or treesize free or any disk space analyzer to see where your files are located. As a rule do not touch anything in the c:\windows folder, don't touch anything in the program files and programs files 86 folder as well. Use the disk space analyzer to move only your files on one specific place. I would recommend creating a new partition and only storing all of your files there, so its separate from the C: drive, which makes it easier to reinstall windows also.
Then make it a rule to only save files in specific folders only, and not any other folder. In fact you should have specific folders only for that purpose.
The other thing to help in file management is removing unneeded duplicates of files. For this I would highly recommend a tool like Anti-Twin, it can find both normal files and even images which are duplicates, this will help greatly as it can even compare different drives to find duplicates to be removed.
anti-twin how is that this was an amazing app the fact they can check for duplicate images pixel by pixel or file bit by bit and/or by name.
ninite.com well technically not software amazing that you can have one installer to install 50 programs all in one go. Their list is a little limiting but still amazes me every time I have to set up a new PC.
> Search by size, date, and other file metadata
Well if the folders are part of a library under Windows you can actually search for them with various characteristics. Some tages need to be added manually so that's a chore.
> OCR for in image text search
Welp that's a time consuming process and for thousands of files, er that's a job in its own.
> Searching for faces or other recognizable things
Not aware of anything that does this at a windows level. Google Photos could do this but you have to upload all the images first.
> Search by color or similarity
Not sure about color although its entirely possible something like that exists. For similarity I sometimes use Anti-twin but its mostly for looking for duplicates of images, and other files, although there is a similarity tool in there that you can adjust.
File Management tools:
Antitwin: Virtually idiot proof duplicate file finder, supports images and auto-selecting files for deletion. Very easy to use, but also very powerful.
Glary Quick Search Great on demand file search tool.
Anti-twin, for the win.
I've never tried 6000+ files, you might have to run it a number of times. It's quite safe IMHO and will not allow you to delete all versions on one type of file.
One other option is to use a duplicate file finder type app. If you are swimming in duplicates then that may be the better option then manual.
I have tried, in the past, Auslogics Duplicate File Finder http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/duplicate-file-finder/
And
YADFR http://sourceforge.net/projects/yadfr/
I do not use them very much and in truth, usually manually sort and delete method has worked for me in the past. With the exception of Visipics app for jpgs. (I once got my backup pics mixed with my main working directory of pics and had to sort them all out, it was a real PITA had it about 1/3 done when I found visipics)
If you use the Duplicate File Deletion on any folder or directory, I HIGHLY advise you to make a backup of the directory first. Then do a cleaning and adjusting of it before you do it on the fly. It can save you from a bad situation where you delete songs that appear to be the same. Then once deleted you have to find them all over again. Or worse. Have to repurchase them from a store or something.
Here's a couple I have used:
- http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/duplicate-file-finder/download/
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/yadfr/
Auslogics has a better UI, but I prefer YADFR for its simplicity.
If you are cleaning up truly duplicate files (and not simply similar pics,) there are several good tools that'll help with this, like this one.
While I haven't used this program myself, I've heard Auslogics Duplicate File Finder works very well. It seems to have received good reviews as well, including by CNet.
A lot of weird suggestions. I think you're trying to delete photos which are the same, but resized? If so, try VisiPics: http://www.visipics.info/index.php?title=Download
It's not the easiest to use, but it's the only free software I found which scans a folder then lets you bulk auto-select the duplicates. It leaves behind the largest file (in terms of dimensions) while deleting all smaller ones. E.g. it'll leave the 3000x3000 original, but delete all the 150x150 and 400x400 ones.
Without getting into really fancy stuff like heuristics, you could compare at block-level. I can't figure out how to load files by NTFS-block, but I don't think there's a reason you couldn't load any binary file an arbitrary amount at a time, say 1024 or 4096 bytes at a time, hash each block, then compare the number of matching blocks.
Maybe there's something I'm missing, though.
Also, I don't know what kind of files you're comparing, but I think that if a single byte is changed near the front of a compressed file like a JPEG, it might cause a shift in the bit sequence for every block after it (or maybe even before). So, comparing compressed files might be very difficult. I know there's third party tools available for this, though--I've used VisiPics for image deduplication.
Visipics or DigitalVolcano's Duplicate Cleaner can help you detect and delete duplicate image files by visual similarity.
As for organizing photos locally, I haven't found anything better than the old, discontinued (but still working!) version of Google Picasa. IIRC, it detects duplicate photos too.
I feel like a shill for them at times, but visipics is a great option.
You just add the folder you want scanned, move the filter to strict, and hit the play button. It will show a list of all duplicates found, and you can hit auto-select, which selects smaller or lower resolution files to get rid of. Confirm with A/B comparison in the preview, then delete/move them, move the filter slider down two notches scan again, auto-select, confirm, etc.
At "loose" levels of filter it will find pictures with similar backgrounds, and be able to match thumbnails/web sized to originals, etc. I use it all the time on my own reference files I get online where I might snag a lower resolution or slightly color edited version that I already have in my library, or my boss that backed up her phone to separate folders every month for 5 years and wanted to consolidate all her pictures.
I've had some success with Visipics for finding duplicates.
Windows Explorer should allow you to sort by height and width, although I don't know if total pixels is possible...
As far as galleries, unfortunately I don't have much advice.
VisiPics is the best if you have a medium-small amount of photos IMO. It's easy to use and works well. However, it seems to choke past a few tens of thousands of pictures.
That's why I've switched to AntiDupl. It's got a slightly more obtuse GUI, and takes a bit to figure out how to setup, but it's much better once you get it setup. The hotkeys are great, and it'll detect bit-identical, rotated, lower resolution, even cropped depending on your settings. It'll even compare exif, dates, blockiness, blurriness, preferred directories, preferred filetypes, and a dozen other things to make intelligent recommendations on which picture should be deleted.
It's interface and workflow takes a little getting used to though, so for smaller batches I recommend Visipics. It's easier to use, but seems to choke past a few tens of thousands of pictures.
Do note that neither of these will help you with sorting. Only finding duplicated, nearly-identical, or other undesirable photos.
You can do this. You need to download every Steam background in a folder (Search it). And put your artwork within same folder and run app like Visipics on lower settings so that it'll match your artwork to a similar background.
I've had some messes, maybe not as far reaching as yours. There is little to do than decide on the way you want to structure 20 years of data (by type, or date, etc) and dig in. I will tell you I've used Visipics with great success for rooting out duplicate photos and jpg.
A little at a time and progress is its own momentum.
I like VisiPics, which is a free Windows utility that doesn't do it automatically but allows you to do what you've described. It uses an adjustable scale for anything from a loose resemblance to a very close resemblance. http://www.visipics.info/index.php?title=Main_Page
~~I have used 2 different programs to find these automatically. Both work well. You can set the apps to automatically delete the lower quality file or you can review each one and choose what to do with them.~~
~~or~~
Oh, you want something that will dump a text file, xml or similar. My bad, I don't do the reading so good apparently.
I'm by no means a pro, but Lightroom is just... very very very awesome.
Give the 30-day version a try, and just import photos in their original location, that way you can uninstall if you don't wanna fork out the $$ at the end of the 30 days.
I'll bet that you'll love it, though.
Oh, and for dupes try Visipics. Successfully deduped 10k wallpapers gathered over 15 years in about an hour.
AntiTwin. I have used it on a Windows 8.1 computer. It has an option to compare images. There is also VisiPics but it is slightly more complicated but it can compare and find different quality/sizes of same images.
edit: I just noticed you are on Windows 10. I have not tried either of these yet on Windows 10.
Also one other tip. If you end up have several songs that were on compilation type albums. Like "Best of 2008" or other such things and that is why your trying to separate the doubles or triples, I suggest always saving the highest bit rate first and well as the longest time. That way the best quality is saved first and the rest get scrapped.
I had to do any doubles like this manually, but there are tricks you can use that will make it easier on you. One is doing a Windows search with the name of the song, since the name is the same for them all, a simple search would suffice to do a delete on them.
Another tip would be to do a ".MP3" extension search (Assuming .mp3 is your used file extension) then sort the list by NAME. This will pop all the doubles into a list, side by side, and then your can adjust your tags for time/duration/bitrate etc. And do massive ctrl+left mouse click selects to edit those out.
This same type of File sorting can be used on any type of file, including Movies and Pictures. But I use VisiPics app for pics, since it also does a quality scan. Unrelated to music, link for Picture sorting only http://www.visipics.info/index.php?title=Main_Page
Whoops, yes, you're right. I was wondering how it could have gotten all the way up there, but then when I realized the character's name is Kuroko it all made sense. Lumped her in with the rest of the Kurokos by accident. Fixed, thanks!
Glad you like it! As for duplicate pictures, I see Visipics often lauded as a good, free tool that can help you pin down duplicate pics on your computer. Haven't tried it personally though.
Okay, so I used one that was really good (after searching through quite a few) called VisiPics, download link is on the left. Now, one of the first ones I found was Awesome Photo Finder. It wasn't as good, but it did help fill in gaps that VisiPics missed. I believe both are adjustable, so you can adjust how strict it will be when comparing photos. Good luck!
I just had to do this: Visipics. Open source. Free. It works.
Compares for a number of different (selectable) paramteters. It will not delete the dupes automatically. You must pull the trigger. Other than that, it does what I need.
Edit: Woops. Just re-read your explanation. This works on folders. I'm not sure if it'll work on web-based stuff.
Why a visual hash? Why not just MD5 or pHash? A few people are throwing this idea around and suggesting features for a possible local 'search by image' application that would also integrate features of programs such as visipics. Also see comments in this thread regarding duplicate identification and removal.
removing doubles you say? this may come in handy [](/a00 "i'm not just trying to shorten the amount of time till I get more clop to look through. I actually am trying to make your life easier")
Visipics is about the best I've used. It lets you select the level of similarity, then delete by size, resolution or folder. You can choose which folders to delete from first, which to leave intact, delete to recycle bin or another folder just in case (my undoing). Also you see what you are getting rid of. The GUI is a bit old fashioned but it's really fast and does the job.
Don't know what your operating system is but if you use windows then AllDup is great free app that can find duplicate vst files (and also great to find duplicate sample files) in your folders and drives. It has a lot of (file filter) features that can fit your needs and instead of deleting, it can move files to a specific folder so you can review before a permanent delete. When done, rescan under manage plugins:
i use the freeware ALLDUP if file names are consistent across copies use simple filename, if names are messed up i would recommend search method of "file content"
