Dear /w/,
i know this thread has been created many a time, but i just have to ask once more: What programs do you use to find duplicates of images in your collection?
Also, any other utilities you use?

Yours truly,
Anonymous.

I have a shortcut to a program called "NoClone 2007 Enteprise Edition" on my desktop which I run occasionally, but since I have the trail version I can only delete 30 duplicates each time I run it >_>

Windows Explorer. Arrange by dimensions. Sort through manually.

Not the easiest way and it takes some time, but works.

Visipics, free and works like a charm.

A hackjob of my own fabrication. It resizes images to 16x16 pixels x16 levels, adds some tolerance and compares. To my surprise, it actually works reasonably well. I dump new images in a folder that gets monitored for new files, which are then checked against the database of thumbnails and moved to different folders depending on the result. The code is quite sloppy though, and it has one obvious drawback: it cannot detect crops. But it was a quick hackjob so what could I expect?

is the OP pic from an anime or manga, or is it just a random picture?

VisiPics works pretty well and it's free.

I'm considering a program such as this, but I'm too damn computer illiterate to know spyware when I see it and too damn cheap to go out and go buy the licensed stuff. Has anyone running Visipics or DupDetector has any problems with security?

Considering the people recommending it, I would say its safe. If you don't trust Anon's oppinion then asking Anon again would make no difference.

Though I would go with Visipics.

I have been using DupDetector for several years now, and have had no issues. Recently I have been considering switching to Visipics, since DupDetector is not really being developed any longer.

DupDetector doesn't catch resizes and VisiPics apparently isn't free. Some alternatives you might try:

DupliFinder is a bit clunky and too lenient for my purposes, but you can tweak that. Apparently it uses the same idea I had, but with a different distance metric. It should be better in finding similar images, but worse at finding exact duplicates. Unfortunately it needs .Net but the source is available so you can port it to something else if you want to.

DuMP3 claims to work on audio also. I like the screenshots of the UI, maybe I'll give it a spin.

If you search for ‘duplicate images’ on SourceForge you get loads of results but a lot of them only compare for exact file identity and wouldn't catch e.g. the same image at a different size or in a different file format. Also, I imagine a lot of them are crap, unmaintained or just starting, but there could be some gems there, so if you have to this kind of thing often...

I use my eyeballs. My wallpapers are sorted into subfolders by genre (anime/gaming/misc), then by series, so I don't have any trouble with dupes.

Plus, at 258 pics, my collection isn't really large enough yet for me to not remember downloading a wallpaper before.

O RLY? Then where's the source code? I can't find it. To the best of my knowledge VisiPics is freeware, but I'd be most glad to be proven wrong with a link to the source.

>>490334
Yeah. When it comes to pattern matching, the human visual system is amazing.

Total Commander has also some good duplication compare jobs. Two are:
1. Directory sync (not best advice)
2. Search function (has duplication verification option, which is fast and easy. Then you can compare files with your eyes and delete it when is indeed double. You search for same filesize and same "CRC" code.)

No need for image tumbnails, which some pcs slows more down.

C'mon Anon dont act so stupid, freeware does not always mean open source.
Visipics is Free, but the developer maintains control of the code as is their right.
>> Anonymous
Free, can find images that are slightly different too.
