I am looking for a tool that will find pics and videos that have different filenames, but the content / metadata is the same.

I found this - Fast Duplicate File Finder

http://www.mindgems.com/products/Fast-Duplicate-File-Finder/Fast-Duplicate-File-Finder-About.htm

But the free version does not do what I am looking for, only the paid, pro version does.

I have tried one or two other softwares but they don't do a good job. Is there a good, free software for this purpose?

This is for Windows OS

Thanks

What a nice solution for condensing down one's porn collection! Kidding ...

I have had a notorious time over the past decade with trying to adopt and stick with a process for capturing images (DSLR) and downloading them for uniqueness. Unfortunately, my laziness often means after downloading some from flash cards I often forget to clear the cards.

The result is the next download has duplicates. The other alternative mess is that when I do remember to reformat the cards after downloading the images the future images have the same damn file names. I've wondered if something like visipics was available so I can clean up the mess I started a decade ago.

And I am sure it will work wonders on my pawn collection, too. :colbert:

Have you guys tried DuplicateFilesDeleter ? It's something similiar like cccleaner and visipics. But faster and can be customized like what TS (Thread Starter) mention. I know maybe I'm late replying this now, since it's 2 years late. Just saying.
