Search for similar images. Delete everything smaller.

It would be desirable to receive function for a window "results of search of similar files". For example, I have a huge number of results and I'm only interested in removing clones of lower resolutions, no matter what their name or extension is. For example, the "delete all smaller copies" button.

A "search for similar images"-function would be very nice. Dunno how easy it would be to implement, though, or if it's realistic to include. (it'd be nice if it's doable)
A "delete all smaller copies"-button, however, would risk deleting images that aren't quite the same, or which are actually higher quality. (if you have an original image, and then a resized copy that is made bigger, for example, then clearly the original would be better, despite being smaller)

The function is already in the tools menu. I understand the consequences of this operation, but in my case, either I stubbornly click on the delete button for half an hour with the "double click" button, or I press just one and do not waste time. And there you can set the similarity of the image, I was looking for exactly 100% match.

Huh? Yeah, true enough, it's there, and can be set under Shortcuts. Thanks, I certainly have use for it.

Umm... well, yes, for a long time, tools -> search for similar images. I just asked for additional functionality for this tool.
