Find unique pictures in multiple folders

[Jacc]

At work lots and lots of pictures are taken of work and machines in the field. People in general are not disciplined (myself being below average ) when it comes to sorting and storing pictures on disk and lots and lots of pictures end up being stored two or more times in different folders.

Is there a program that will move (or copy) all uniqe pictures from multiple folders to a new folder?
The purpose of this would of course be to get rid of all duplicate pictures. Not only do they take up space but searching for a certain picture also becomes much more cumbersome.

I assume such a program is available but if not that may be my next VBA project.

Hi Jacc,

Perhaps this PCWorld article will help you find a solution?

Hi Paul
Thanks for the link! Yes this seems to be what I'm looking for and then some. So far I only downloaded it and did one quick testrun. I thought it was just gonna match the name and file size, which would be good enough for me, but it also checks what the pictures look like and gives them a match rate in percent. This feature may certainly also come in handy. Considering what it's doing I say it runs pretty fast.
