Ultimate Duplicate Photo Finder

The only problem I encountered was with the instructions. I found that aside from retaining one copy of the original and placing one copy in the "photo duplicate" folder it also places a third copy of the file in the recycle bin automatically, this is fine except for when you decide to delete the "photo duplicate" folder and end up seeing two copies of the duplicate files in the recycle bin instead of the single copy you would expect to see.

My photos directory has 41K files and is 300 GB. It takes this program over an hour to process the directory. It finds a bunch of duplicates, which is great! I then start the manual process of looking at each duplicate and deciding which one I want to keep. I get about a half-hour into the process, and the app CRASHES. White screen, then nothing. All of my work is lost. The event log shows Exception code: 0xc0000409. It seems like the app has some promise - it was doing a great job identifying the duplicates; just wish I could finish the job with it. Maybe an update is on the way?

20121230 Now all it does is crash on Windows 10. I am uninstalling this app. It shows logo screen then disappears. Past >>>Not a bad program just needs some tweaks to make it better. What I had problems with was. The first search to big. All of PC. It reset itself after 38,000 copies found. Did another smaller search. I had it go thru 5 folders looking for duplicates instead all of PC. It also reset itself after 10,000 copies found. So you have a bug there. Like to see some features like; To be able to pick what it looks for, like .jpg and/or .jpeg and/or .png or tiff and etc. Option to just leave the image alone. To keep all the duplicates where they are for that image. To have the option to get rid of the duplicate but be able to put a shortcut where the other images were at. Leading to the duplicate that you kept. Option to put the duplicate that you keep into a whole different folder all together. You do this and I will be willing

Simple interface that separates the wheat from the chaff. Doesn't delete duplicates, just moves them to a folder you create so you can archive copies, delete etc.

If you have a LOT of photos and want a quick way to find and process them, don't waste your time it. Every duplicate must be treated individually, processed and then acted upon. In a click after click after click process that is TREMENDOUSLY time and patience consuming. JUNK!

The app works as advertised, but when finding more than a few duplicates the process for removing duplicates is tedious.
