NANY 2011 Release: Duplicate Photo Finder
JavaJones:
I think there are already quite a few more sophisticated duplicate finders out there. I see the simplicity of this tool as one of its biggest benefits.

Yes: I very much agree
I suppose if the program were to gain any kind of popularity I'd go back and do a pro version.

True. I don't really see much point in doing much more there. It addresses basic needs. Or it addresses mine anyways~! :D
mouser:
I watched an early test screencast that Wraith made and it went into some nice detail and examples that were cool. Wraith pointed out something that i thought was important. He pointed out that if you select the same folder for both, and checked all items, it was possible to delete BOTH copies of a photo by accident.
I have a really simple solution suggestion:
Right before actually deleting, check that the original file partner of the pair still exists -- if not, skip the delete.

Went a different route. Tried a few things, but I think this works best.
The warning screen used to be this:
And it was possible to delete them all.
The problem that was supposed to address was "deciding which was the original". It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
* Decide -- removes control from user
* Don't decide -- leaves room for user error
Behavior now is:
1) Warning/Notification (now waffling on this as to whether or not it is needed as it is purely informative now):
2) Use only 1st image as "original" -- all successive photos are considered duplicates. e.g. The following images (1.jpg to 8.jpg are all identical):
Anyways, it is no longer possible to delete originals as described above.
Version updated to 1.3 (other speed optimizations added).
