Just what it says, I'm trying to find something portable and free that

Thanks!
Now that would be cool.Â*Â* I know I have duplicates under different names.
You say "or similar", I'd just like to find a binary duplicate.

Actually, I believe I can answer that for a change. During my search, I
tried out VisiPics

Which has a Wiki at
http://www.visipics.info/index.php?title=Main_Page


and it does just what you describe. Brought out many
duplicates. It actually does seem to somewhat work for what I'm looking
for, but I was hoping for something a bit more efficient. Right now, I
am trying out another program called Find.Same.Images.OK.

From these guys: (or this guy?) http://www.softwareok.com
his download page is at: http://www.softwareok.com/?Download and has
loads of goodies. The direct linky to the recent version of FSIOK is
at: http://www.softwareok.com/?Download=Find.Same.Images.OK


It is
currently scanning the hard drive and will wait and see how it goes.

It is *easy* to provide linkies to programs you recommend to save us
from having to search for them.
True, it costs *you* a search but it saves us from doing hundreds,
maybe thousands of them.

And it's polite.

Quite true, and I'm sorry. I was in sort of a hurry at the time, but
here are the links along with my comments:

Visipics

Comments: Pretty good, found all duplicates and similar images. Did
take overnight to fully check and provide previews for the hard drive,
but the best of the programs I tried and I believe I will stick with it.


Find.Same.Images.OK

Comments: Had high hopes, but program crashed within minutes of
starting on Win 10, so no real testing could be done.

Hope that helps.
