It seems that "find images by similarity" doesn't use multiprocessor/multithreading, why not ?
I've 16 cores/32 threads, that would boost the search a lot !
First step, it uses full multi-thread but second step, only 1 thread.

If there are special and motivated dev on NN, here are some nice papers :

Compute a key by the shape of the images to get all resembling images grouped.
The program "Visipics" compute this value to find very close images :

This would help to find images who are close to others.
Algo :
1) Compute the prevailing color for each image
2) compute this color in the spectrum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum#Color_display_spectrum
3) sort all the images on this value

The program "ImageSorter" seems to do it ...

The idea : display more pictures of a folder on the screen (without text informations).

The parameters would be :
1) The number of pictures on the screen (above 10)
2) % of covering (sometimes the high or width of a picture can be covred a little to make the scheme more easy)
3) organized or ...

ça serait bien d'avoir un format d'image en 48 (ou 64) bits parce que après de multiples transformations les arrondis de calcul mènent à une diminution du nombre de couleurs en 24/32 bits.

Your idea is good, but your ssd/harddisk do not like it.

I tried this with two instances of xnview mp and browse different directories on one harddisk.
The reading head of your harddisk will jump from one position to another and your harddisk get loud.
It is not good for your harddisk.
Are you ...

When there's hundreds of images to display, that could take a couple of minutes.
By using MT that could divided the time by 3 to 10.

Description : A new thread for each image. The max number of simultaneous threads is limited to the number of logical processor (+ 1 option to set a user value).

Yes and yes, 10 times.

could you put your email in the crash report to know that it's this crash?

Often it crashes without sending a report
But sometimes I can send it, I did it with the mail : vincentlejeune@h...c...

Yes and yes, 10 times.

Since I got my new monitor (3840*2160), I got a lot of crash while browsing some images ?
Know bug ? Any idea ?

VisiPics is really nice, I used it several times

For duplicate images, I only use Visipics too, it's a great finder by similarity. You can set the degree of "likeness".

For exact file matching, I use "Double Killer 1.6.x", search by Size and CRC ...
