lab16's Journal: Removing duplicate pictures

I while back I had to reinstall windows, and when I was copying data back onto the computer, I had to restore my pictures from 2 different backup sources, with many of the pics that were already on the computer going into different folders and having different filenames. So now I have many duped pictures with different names contained in various, unsorted folders. Picasa isn't able to scan for duplicate pics, and I can't find anything else that is of use. Any ideas?

Duplicate File Finder

Perhaps SHA1/MD5 everything, and write a script that goes through and picks out the duplicates?

You might also try this:
DUP FILE FINDER [funduc.com]. It comes with a recommendation from someone, but I have never used it. It appears to use hashes. It is shareware, so if you're going to use it once, then it should be no problem.

It is also the first result in a Google search that you might find helpful: search [google.com].

Thanks. I guess next time I will have to google before asking. :)

If you want, I can send you a pic or two of my cute dog as reward. Just send me an email so I know what your address is.
