So it looks  like Rev might be up for the job! Cool.

I guess iPhoto doesn't exist on the Windows side of things, but a polished x-platform solution that included iPhoto's cataloguing scheme would be a very valuable resource for millions of users. It would have to be bulletproof, but I do think a modestly priced shareware utility like this, if it could be pulled off in Rev, either natively or using externals, would be a very successful thing for its creator, and a great ambassador for Revolution.

It should work. In fact, I wrote a stack to do that (for music files) last year and it worked OK for them. Only weakness was that it was slow - I considered adding an "index file" to each directory, which would store the file names and md5 signatures, but hadn't got as far as doing that.

Other weakness -I decided it wasn't worth adding refinements because it was a one-off effort to merge two lots of music files and I got it completed OK before I had refined the stack, so I didn't keep the stack :-(

I'll try re-creating it from memory and see if it's as easy as I remember ...

Not quite as easy as I remember - especially if you want anyone else to be able to use it !!

Uploaded to RevOnline under username alextweedly, category Utilities, as "Duplicate finder" Not the prettiest stack even I have written, and doesn't have all the robustness checks a commercial product would have - but does what it needs to do.
