OT: File Size Software
|
I'm going through my digital photo collection which now runs into tens of
thousands. However, I can see I have some duplicates. Rather than go through
them manually is there a piece of software that will scan the hard drive and
display files/pictures of the same size? Ideally, something that could also
find the picture properties such as date taken would be a bonus.
The software needs to be able to search in different folders otherwise I
would have just sorted them by size in explorer.
|
In Windoze, use Search under the Start menu, which will do all folders. To
save time, set a minimum size stipulation. When finished, order files by
size. Duplicates will be obvious.
|
|
Add folders you want to search to a list from any drive and set it
going. The portable version doesn't need installing either.
|
Excellent!
387 duplicates now deleted..............now for software that will rename
all the items in each folder in bulk. Any thoughts?
|
Windows explorer can do that. Select all the files in a folder. Hit
F2, type in a new name. The files will be renamed xxx (nn).xxx
|
Well you learn something every day don't you..........thanks.

IIRC ACDC can do this. There are many others as well.

I have used this in the past:
|
|
find $HOME -type f -name "*.jpg" -exec ls -l > /tmp/duplicates {} \;
