Find similar files GUI

[vangel]

XnView's "Find similar files" pictire content algorithm is excellent, but the GUI is not. Here are my ideas:

1. I would like to have more automatic aid in deleting/moving the files, so you could select something like (also select invers): oldest/newest, the biggest/smallest (pixel dimensions or filesize), pics with/without color profile.

2. It would be much better to see all findings together instead of every picture for it's own, perhaps in the form of a spreadsheet with rows and columns. On every row would be one set of found duplicates, the first pic would be the one to keep (manually sorted or by the automatical aid see above) sorted. You could scroll down for all entries. Plus an examine window where you could compare every 2 or more selected thumbnails from the spreadsheet close and personal.

3. Clear delete/move/copy functions on the above windows, so no pic gets accidentally deleted.

I attached a quick visualisation.

Keep up the excellent work.

Yes... I like this approach. Grouping is a powerful metaphor and could be used elsewhere in XnView, as well.

I like very much this proposal, I was looking for a replacement of a "duplicate image finder" program to use XnView only.
Hope this feature will be extended from the actual implementation.
