Does anyone know of an automatic image duplicate remover? I'm getting really fed up with a particular 33 GB folder of almost 700 000 images, of which maybe 550-600 k are duplicates, and sorting through them myself, even with a duplicate finder is a nightmare. I'd rather just run a program sorting it out itself.
Bonus if it can have prioritized folders where it only removes files if there is a better duplicate.
Prefer that it does not remove or change the current folder structure.
VisiPics can handle everything else.

Re: Automatic image duplicate remover?
Did you want the comparison to be solely a hash of the file, or did you want it to be a comparison of the actual image content?
The difference being that if the file had been altered (resized, captioned, etc) or re-compressed then the hashes won't be the same.
However analysing the actual image content can find duplicates if the image had been altered slightly.
Doing it with just hashes is/shoould be really simple - probably even with a batchfile.

The image content, if possible. The quality is very inconsistent. Even then, another type of comparing software could at least cut down the number into one easier to handle...

I use http://www.uniquefiler.com/ Version 1.4. I didn't like the way the new version looked.
I use it mostly to find the visual duplicates, but not delete them. If you want to use it to actually delete them, you probably need to register & pay for it. Otherwise, it is a free download.

Thanks, bit is seems to be one more comparer that let's you pick and choose what to keep and delete. I use http://www.visipics.info for that, and I like it enough that I doubt I’ll ever change...
