Off Topic Software to remove doubles

Post by oliver21a »

Hey guys, I'm looking for a software that helps you to find and remove photos that you have multiple copys of. I had a HDD that crashed and I swear to god that the same pictures are everywhere after restoring files. Anyone have any idea?

Does anti-twin even work on recent os anymore? Nevertheless, someone an idea what to use on linux, and I mean a GUI based software like anti-twin that can compare and isn´t bound to check for only identical file size?

I've been using DupeGuru for years now. Works really well. It can help you track duplicates by comparing sizes, timestamps, and even does some visual recognition so you can also remove downscaled and reencoded crap and keep the better versions.
