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?
