Feature Request: Find Duplicates

[Russell]

Hi Murat and Team,

 

I somehow have multiple images that are identical but with different tags - so no traditional "find duplicates" program recognizes them as the same image.

 

Not sure where along the lines my files got mangled, but this is a rather critical feature. :-)

 

Please add,

Daminion stores the hash info of image blocksof for all importing images. We added this option for future purposes - like finding duplicates by image content (by ignoring the metadata block)

When does it become something useful on the user end? Oh, and I hope it can identify the duplicate images no matter their orientation?

 

Thanks,

Only those metadata parameters will be ignored that do will not be reflected on the image bitmap. Thus two identical images with different image orientation tags will be treated as two different images.

This would be a really useful feature for me right now. I'm sorting through a 10-year archive of photos which is really messy and probably loaded with duplication. Any idea when this feature is likely to appear ?

I'm looking for an update on the status of this feature too.

 

Murat?

Hello Russel,

 

see the roadmap please: https://daminion.net/user-forum/index.php?/topic/765-daminion-roadmap/

Even if it's not guarateed the chance to get it is increasing.

 

Regards, Uwe

Woohoo.... I hope it's coming soon...

 

And it'd be EPIC if it recognized different resolution versions of the same photo. :-)

 

Or even a percentage of "identical-ness" so that I can review two photos that are 98% identical... Maybe one was the image capture and the other is a slightly edited version (pimple removed, telephone pole removed, etc.)

 

Thanks,

I would actually take it one step forward.

 

I do a lot of HDR-Images and Panoramic Images, so for every hdr image I have at least 3 pictures, with the exact same motiv, but different exposure times. So Daminion could find those source files so I do not delete them. The same with panramic images. I take up to 40 pictures for one panoramic image, but every pictures for the panoramic pictures at least 3 different exposures if I do a panoramic hdr.

 

So if daminion could do that, that would be awesome

I'm 1000% with you Rene. I do a tremendous amount of HDR Panoramics.

 

My largest pano is over 600 source images (on a 5D Mark II), to document a mural for a non-profit.

 

While we're begging for features - how about HDR and Pano tools? LOL

 

Thanks,

Would like to see one of those pictures. 600 images per panorama?
