Thumbs Plus (I believe available as a trial version from www.cerious.com)
has a "Sort by Similarity" that I use to wean out the dupe's...

Hey all, - anyone know of any digital image cataloguing software that
will find duplicate copies of digital pics *not* based on the
filename?...

I have ended up with a PC that has been the recipient of digital image
collections from several other PCs, copied there at different times, by
different people, and I know there are a significant number of duplicate
copies of the same picture(s)...

Seeking out the duplicates, and deleting them manually is a PITA, (and
*very* slow). - I'd love to find a tool that can scan the disk for all
the picture files, and show up all the duplicates (perhaps based on the
EXIFS information or something?, or maybe a checksum of the image file?)

Any suggestions?

TIA
