How to eliminate duplicates
I’m laboriously working on ridding my computer of duplicate images. I wonder if anyone has developed a technique les tedious than what I’m doing. I know LR doesn’t find duplicates so this is what I’m doing now:
- Run a duplicate file finder program that lists the duplicates
- Check LR (version 4.4) to see if they are in it.
- If both are, I mark one as rejected and proceed to the next in the list
- If only one is, I use Windows Explorer to confirm the non LR image is indeed on my computer and delete it in Explorer, sometimes moving the LR image to the folder of my choice
- If neither is there, I import one to LR, and delete the other in Explorer.
- Filter LR images for the rejected attribute and delete all these from the disk
Am I making this harder than it should be? How are you all dealing with eliminating duplicates?
Thanks,
hal
