In looking for a way to remove duplicates photos from iPhoto, I find iPhoto Diet (free, but not up to date and partial in its implementation) and iView Media (50.00). IPhoto surely should do this on its own, but it doesn't.

So I was wondering if Rev were up to the task of being able to read iPhoto catalogues, determine duplicates, and get rid of them for the user. If so, it would be a great utility and maybe give Rev some publicity. Way over my head, but for those that knows, who knows?

Maybe not. I was thinking about the same problem here the other day, and wile I haven't written anything yet it occurred to me that Rev's MD5 function could probably be useful: you'd make a list of all the files, read each file into a variable and run the variable through MD5, and then any matching MD5 keys are likely duplicates.

Anyone here see a weakness to that crude approach?
