--- Comment #2 from Michael <mas_masterandserv...@outlook.de> --- Then I guess I'm the next one to have problems with this. I usually move large amounts of images. For a gut feeling, I have attached my database statistics below. There are already duplicates in the database that I have to keep with different metadata. On the other hand, I already have a few thousand images to import again and I have to find the images in those imports that are already in the database. So my requirement is to find all the images in the import that are already in the database. But I only want to delete duplicates from the import. So practically the whole existing database is the reference. Sometimes I also get a request to preserve a duplicate from the import and add it to the current database with new metadata. So it would help me if I can define what the albums of the reference images are and which albums are the images to be searched. Whether an album is then just a reference, a search or both is then completely up to me. The rest regarding quality and information content of an image, I could cover so far with the advanced search. So in principle, I don't need this function to automatically select the reference, because I usually do that in advance via other functions and filter out the required qualities. So now my question regarding the duplicate search, do you have any advice for me on how to achieve my goal if this is not a bug? How shall we proceed with this ticket?
