It can not only find exact duplicates, but, through some kind of fuzzy logic, pictures that are near-duplicates (very similar), even if they are of different image sizes or file types. I also sometimes use this app (also freeware). It does a good job of finding duplicate photos and some other types of duplicate files such.
Acdsee duplicate finder Pc#
To the original poster, I might suggest you try out one of the freeware apps discussed at this site: Its free and open source and available for both Windows PC and Mac. Without some kind of automatic selection, one may as well not even bother with the built-in duplicate finder. I ran the find duplicates and have 2,636 duplicate sets (some of them have 3 or 4 of same image). In working through and organizing all my photos, it is recommended to get rid of all duplicates first. For example: smallest or largest file, lowest-resolution, greatest compression level, oldest, newest, shortest/longest filename, etc. getting rid of duplicates 02-24-2022, 11:19 AM Using ACDSee 2018. I wish there were a way to automatically select the duplicates based on various criteria.
"Delete from first list" and "Delete from second list" only work if you're comparing two folders, but if you're just looking for dupes within a single folder, you're forced to select the dupes one at a time. The window containing the results is way too small, so the amount of scrolling required is simply insane.Īnd none of the options for deletion are really helpful. It's tolerable when there are only a handful of duplicates, but quickly becomes unwieldy once the list of duplicates grows to more than a page or two. I have to say that the duplicate finder in ACDSee is, frankly, awful. If you want to further consolidate, then after this second pass of removing duplicated images is complete, then use ACDSee to move the images from the now-cleaned-up folders that you have selected to have duplicates removed into the folders (or new folders) that are going to serve as your "main" folders to hold your images.I registered for the community forum just to reply to this message. Then when the list of duplicated images is shown, select the ACDSee option to remove all images from group 2.
Next select some or all of the folders which you want their duplicates to be removed into group 2. Next, select some or all of the just-cleaned "main" folders into group 1. This will clean out your "main" folders so they will not have duplicates. Select the ACDSee option to delete duplicate images only in group 1. With ACDSee then you would only have your folders selected in group 1. Select those folders to keep and do not select any folders to have their duplicates deleted. So, you would also have folder(s) for which you want duplicated folders to be removed.įor a good multi-step process, I select several (or I may select all depending on how messy and frequent the duplicates are) of the "main" folders to keep. Say you have several folders with images and you already have selected which folder(s) you want to be the "main" folders to keep.
It may take more than one pass, but it is much easier than going image-by-image. Can you see there is an option on the Find Duplicates to delete all files from group1 or from group 2? If so, then perhaps you can use that for a little more efficiency. I've been using ACDSee since around 1997.
