It would be great that we could make a Search for Duplicate files inside Lightroom . I know there are plugins but they have their limitations like not being able to sort automatically and delete the duplicate files. You have to do it manually if they are exactly the same .

As catalogues can sometimes by user error get full of duplicated if you are not careful it would be great to have such a feature and not only during import

Lightroom (classic and cloud) need a way of finding all duplicates. IMported duplicates, as well as duplicates in folders that need synchronizing. 

This is a feauture that has been asked for over at least 8 years. 

There are third party plugins, but that should not be neccessary.

We are all paying our fee every month, and you keep giving us features we don't need / want, without giving us actually useful features. 

 

WE NEED THE ABILITY TO FIND AND HANDLE DUPLICTES

Please include the ability to remove duplicate photo/videos. Thanks!

 

This seems like a very simple feature to add and would be a very valuable time saving tool to manage photo catalogs that is very time consuming for a user but can be done in seconds by a computer.
