Hmmm, sounds like you want /usr/bin/diff and use diff -r to compare two folder (on two drives) recursively down the folder structure. That will tell you pretty much what you've asked for above (but not graphically.) However you're running Windows. Do you fancy installing vmware player + ubuntu? Or cygwin, or Microsoft services for unix? No, ok, then I'd use exiftool to move all the files on each of your drives into the same folder structure pattern based on date. And then use doublekiller to highlight (or remove) duplicates, it's a graphical app. It checks whether files are the same by comparing the CRC checksums for each file. Exiftool http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ See here for an example - specifically you'd want the directory (not file) renaming example http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/#filename DoubleKiller http://www.bigbangenterprises.de/en/doublekiller/ The caveat with the above is any moved jpeg, pef or dng files that are managed within a Lightroom catalogue (if you that's what you use) will end up with a ? icon in Lightroom. -- Eric -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
