Find duplicates from SD to disk (in different folders)

Post by alobo »

Before cleaning up an SD, I would like to verify that
all photos exist on the disk, but they have been organized in different folders on the disk.
I have tried with Find similar files and selecting Between folders only,
but then it also compares among folders in the disk, which takes a long time
(besides I do want to have some duplicates on the disk).
Any way to just verify that files on SD exist somewhere on disk?

Hello,

+1.

Managing images transfered from SD to hardrive is not as straightfoward than it should in XnviewMP because duplicated image management is not optimized,with some known issues as viewtopic.php?f=95&t=44950.

Things are nevertheless becoming better to avoid duplicates:

"Import and sort" tool allowed us (1.4.0) to move images instead of copy them (viewtopic.php?f=96&t=41759). This move option was latter affected by a bug, fixed in 1.4.4 (viewtopic.php?t=44736).

Thanks to Pierre for the great work !
