Duplicate finder?
« on: February 19, 2008, 08:01:03 AM »
Hi all,

Is at all possible to have a "Duplicate picture finder" in PM? I sometimes accidentally have many versions of the same file when renaming. is it possible to find a duplicate by exact date etc... to trash the extra files.

It would be great.

It sounds like that would take a full search of your entire filesystem which could take a really long time to execute.  A photo browser is not necessary for such a feature.  I am certain there are some other utility applications that would do that sort of thing really well.

What about within the same folder?

Ahh...  Well that's a different story then.  Let me think about it.
