Does MC have a duplicate image finder?
« on: February 16, 2012, 10:02:03 pm »

I'm in the process of importing my pictures into MC and I'm finding that I have a lot of duplicates.  They are all mixed up in different folders and pretty much a mess so sorting by filename isn't going to work.  I'm wondering if MC has a function like another program I have forgotten the name of that actually analyzes each photo and finds matches based on pixels?

But is there a way to have MC limit the display to just one, or display all copies but one....so we can then easily delete?

You can have the Smartlist Show only non dups or Show only the dups.

Since you're going to delete, you probably want some control over which one you want to delete.  This is best done by sorting or grouping, based on some field such as any of Filename, Filename (path), Date Imported, Date Created, etc. where you can see which collection you're interested in.
