#Thumbsplus 10 find duplicates full#
I want it to be set to just DISPLAY, but not to take full association. It also wants to cease control of file types and I have to "slap its little hand" on too many occasions. Even with its file association, there is much to be desired. It'll often just display an icon, but will use the CODECs installed to play, and will display the poster-frame in the viewer. Bridge does a better job, but still not perfect. One weakness in ThumbsPlus is its handling, or lack of, AV files with different CODECs, even when they're installed on the system. Still, for batch file re-naming, and finding dupes, ThumbsPlus is my go-to app. I use Bridge (CS2) for much of my browsing in PP, PS, AI and InDesign. By default, you'll get a little blue ~, but there are about three of them above one another, between dupes.Īs for a comparison between Bridge and ThumbsPlus, they are very similar. Make sure that you turn on (think it's on by default) the "flags." Do not recall the exact syntax of that Preference.
For finding dupes, its Sort>Similarity is invaluable. While I was watching TV coverage of Ike, everyone was mentioning one of my favorite cataloging programs, ThumbsPlus.

I have Googled and found some software that will find duplicate file names, but nothing that will help me compare them visually.
I need a tool to find the duplicates and triplicates. There are way too many for me to find by visually comparing them. Some have also been resized and/or cropped. Now I have duplicates and triplicates of many photos with 2 or 3 different file names. Sisters 2 and 3 renamed all their photos. Sister 3 has her photos plus some (but not all) of Sister 1’s and Sister 2’s Sister 2 has her photos plus some (but not all) of Sister 1’s photos Each sister wants ALL of her photos on the final slideshow. Three sisters gave me their photo CDs (over 1000 photos) to be combined to make one slideshow of their summer activities together. Uh Oh, what a mess I've gotten myself into.
