In addition, scanning still takes a long time especially if you've got a big library of pictures. One of the problems is that it doesn't always detect duplicates, especially those that are not in any of the major formats. The program features a 'Power Marker' for adding extra annotations to duplicate files. Of course, you may not want dupeGuru Picture Edition to detect certain images or file types and the preferences give you the chance to tweak it to your liking via the scanning engine settings.Īs regards what to do with your duplicates, dupeGuru Picture Edition can either delete images instantly or move them to another folder. In fact, it can automatically scan your entire library instantly. It integrates with your Photos folder so you don't need to go browsing around for images to scan. I am using Debian Jessie, I installed dupeGuru from the apt repository.DupeGuru Picture Edition can detect image duplicates in most of the major formats, including PNG, JPG and GIF. dupeguru save file is ~50MB, so that just doesn't seem right. One reboot later I try to load the results so I can continue my manual parsing (there are many duplicate directories that have simply been saved to the same place twice and I am manually merging those directories) but all I get is a blank 'dueGuru Results' screen with zero files. The second time I was wiser and saved the results and then checked that the results were saved before I did anything else. I can't be the only person who wants to use this program on large datasets). I cried a little on the inside when I rebooted and then waited another two days for the scan to scan again (thinking about this, the default behaviour should REALLY be to export to an html FILE ON DISK, not to pop open a browser instance. The first time I did this I accidentally hit 'export as html' and my machine became unresponsive as it tried to give that list to Firefox. After ~2days it gave me a huge list (~150k doubles representing ~850GB) which I expected since I pulled my NAS to these drives and I knew I had done multiple backups of various things at various times to various places. I installed dupeGuru and set it to work on thre 6TB drives. I googled this and found reference to several other people experiencing the same thing (here: ) but nop solution.
