Duplicate Photos

[bob12a]

Seasons greetings

 

I know the general consensus is NOT TO use duplicate finders but I do have an external hd which I know contains thousands of duplicate photos.

I would be happy to try a recommended dupe finder if one could be found.

I won't use duplicate finders. Had a bad experience once with a duplicate program.

Hi Bob,

 

I do have an external hd which I know contains thousands of duplicate photos.

I'm not saying this will definitely work for you.... but no harm in trying.

 

I'm assuming that if there are duplicate photos, then there's a good chance that they were created at the same time.

Also as you now have Win10 installed ( nice work btw )

 

I just tried this on my external HD.....

When you open a folder, there is an option to 'search'.

I typed in a date and up came all the same date results:

So you could use a date/name etc as a search option.

 

Obviously it's not as quick as using a third party software... but it is safe.

Thanks friend will give it a go later.

 

You say

Silly me of course 95% of my pics are taken at the same MOMENT OF TIME.

I shoot with 2 cameras synced.

Happy and Healthy New year to you and yours.

A few years ago, when I had Windows XP, I had a program that would compare the actual photos and show possible duplicates so you could delete them. I can't remember what it was called but it was very good and the only reason I got rid of it was because it wouldn't run on Windows 7.

Happy and Healthy New year to you and yours.

Thank you Bob.

I wish you and your family a very prosperous 2016.
