Problem solved! I used Fslint. This is a great program....... you paste in the repository path first. On the next line you paste the path to the primary folder of the tree of sub dirs.
Click search........ every instance of duplicates is grouped. In my case the file in the repository was top in each group. Click select, within groups, 'all but first'. Then delete. It was as quick as that. I'm now just tidying up. :) On Wednesday, 5 August 2015 22:23:23 UTC+2, Marco-Krusader wrote: > > Thanks Udvarias, > > I accept that I screwed up with Shotwell. > I'm sure that I fully failed to exploit the prog to it's full. > > I'm not ditching Shotwell.... and the next time, I load install it, I will > be much more careful. > > But for the moment, I've got to discover my duplicate images. > Not based upon name...... but based upon file content. > > Does anybody know of a prog that can run a duplicate check on file > extensions? > > > > > > On Wednesday, 5 August 2015 20:09:24 UTC+2, Udvarias Ur wrote: >> >> Dear Marco, >> >> I don't have a means of doing what you want to do, however, a different >> solution that may be to the whole issue you're dealing with. >> >> • Allow Shotwell to create it's day/month/year dirs. >> • Create the tree you want and put links into that >> tree to the photo files in the Shotwell tree. >> >> This will eliminate any conflicts between the way Shotwell transfers >> photos to your system and the way you want to organize your photos. >> >> BTW.
