Duplicate files - pictures.-

Visipics is the one if you have duplicate photographs.

You set the directories it should search, and you set how exact a match you want - its a slider.

I guess the slider has about 8 steps of strictness. If you set the slider at the top, its exact matches only and even the tiniest detail stops it finding a duplicate. 6, for me, was very accurate, virtually no miss calls - its finding the same picture, but in different files with potentially different characteristics. Set it at 5 and below and its finding "similar" pictures. So if you had taken two shots of something with one slightly out of focus, or perhaps someone had moved a bit, then it will flag them up as possible duplicates. Each group of pictures flagged has a dot on it from bright green down through to nasty yellow depending on how strong a match it believes its found.

To have the slider anything less than half way is pointless, it finds every damn thing.

It throws up a thumbnail for every picture it finds, and when hovered over it gives the filename, directory, sizer and resolution. You then click on the pictures you want to delete. If you have a lot, this selecting process is a bit of an arse and takes quite a while. I had something like 4,000 pictures flagged as being in 9,000 files (some pictures were duplicated more than once).

But the pain of the selecting process was more than made up for by its accuracy.

Then you can move, rename, delete, recycle etc as you wish.

This is all Visipics does, many of the others have more functionality, but what it does it does well. Damned easy to use as well - intuitive.
