PSE10 Remove Duplicate Photos


i running pse10 on win 7, , have found myself bit of mess i'd clean up.  catalog has many hundred duplicate photos.  these pairs of items point same physical photo via different path.  follow pattern of c:\documents , settings\chris\my documents\...   and  c:\users\chris\pictures...

 

i have tried using search duplicate photos function, identify duplicates, finds tons of false positives, photos merely alike not actual duplicates.  sorting through these not feasible.

 

i perhaps identify documents versions deleting shortcut documents in os , seeing images need reconnected.  tags attached c:\documents , settings versions.

 

i'm looking way identify actual duplicate photos in catalog, rather merely similar ones.

 

the workflow imagine is: identify duplicate photos | transfer tags c:\users version | delete c:\my documents version.

 

anyone have suggestions?

 

thanks,

 

chris

 

ps  i'll note experienced databases , sql, on off chance catalog simple sqlite database can manipulate.

chris,

 

just understand:

 

are saying photos exist in 1 , 1 place on hard drive, organizer has 2 thumbnails each one, each thumbnail pointing different location?
