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. Most of the time it doesn't even cost a search, because said 'linkies' are provided in the 'Help link' field of the 'Programs and Features' list in Control Panel (and of course most of the time in the 'Help' of the individual programs). And it's polite. Mand. |

I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't but will go back and so so now along with my brief comments. |

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 https://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Fr...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. |

Thanks! You have heard of Google but you don't seem to know how to use it. Is this so? https://www.google.com/search?q=duplicate+images+finder&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b It is still free so please use it before asking stupid questions here. We don't support Linux junkies on Windows newsgroups.Â* they are superior to all of us here but they still like to ask us before using their brains to do the research for themselves. I did Google it rather extensively FIRST, but I OFTEN like to get opinions from this group and another or two as I find people like Paul and others generally very helpful and a lot more relevant that general searching provides. As for Linux users being "superior", that's quite debatable of course. I like using it for Internet work, but good old Win 7/10 are still used for those things best suited to them. For years, I always turned to Win and to use Photoshop or similar image programs, but recently The Gimp has made quite a leap forward and I have started sing it more in Linux.

I use and recommend Duplicate Cleaner Free. I mostly use it to find duplicate non-image files, but it also has an image mode with most of the usual options. There's a Free version and a Pro version. I use the Free version. https://www.digitalvolcano.co.uk/duplicatecleaner.html -- Char Jackson |

Thanks! Now that would be cool. I know I have duplicates under different names. You say "or similar", I'd just like to find a binary duplicate. Al I've found "Duplicate Image Finder", by Runningman software, works well: you can set the percentage similarity you wish, including 100%. However, this seems to have disappeared. I await with interest the results that another poster in this thread reports from several other utilities that person has found. For binary duplicates, _if_ you know one filename, using the "Everything" search utility, with no name specified, highlighting the file, then sorting the result by the size column, will list files of identical size adjacent to the highlighted one, so that their names and locations can be seen, and then compared (if only with "fc /b"). A very good suggestion. That has to be *much* faster than comparing a file with every other file on the drive, bit by bit. On the other hand, perhaps a good duplicate finding program would begin by doing the same kind of thing. I hadn't thought of that when I posted my earlier message in this thread. And now that you say this, I do remember a 'find dupes' type of program that had adjustments you could set as to how it find dupes. I think size was one, and turn off name was another. That might have worked if I remembered the program grin. Duplicate Cleaner Free works very well to find duplicate files. It has options to demand a full & exact match, ignore just filename (same bits), ignore just size (same filename), and much more. The free version has been good enough for me for at least 4-5 years now. It also has an image mode where you can choose how close of a match you want, but I haven't used that part very much. The non-image file mode works quite well, though. https://www.digitalvolcano.co.uk/duplicatecleaner.html -- Char Jackson |
