Photo similarity above 99 percent

Hello. I noticed that 99% photo similarity still is too broad for comparison of many photos. It encompasses images that only differ in someone blinking an eye just as much as someone turning their whole head and moving an arm. Furthermore there is no way to compare 100% similarity with images of dif...

Re: Short cuts

Ha, I tried CTRL and SHIFT + cursor to change groups, didn't try ALT. Thanks for the hint. Usually all raw files come with an embedded JPG. This is what Faststone Image Viewer and XnView display by default unless you change their preferences. This is also what Lightroom uses for its thumbnails until...

Re: Short cuts

Yes, please. I just started working with DC and the lack of shortcuts in the preview window means that it can only be used via mouse.

I would also like to have an option to make preview use the embedded JPGs of raw files in order to speed up the viewing process.

Re: Multi-threading bottleneck while processing image files

DC ran its image metrics step for the past four hours, averaging at around 16% CPU load, often dropping down to a single thread. What I noticed is that it only works on one image at a time, so maybe this is where things could be sped up by (optionally) working on several images in parallel?!

Re: Multi-threading bottleneck while processing image files

I bought a license, removed the duplicate JPG files with same name and now run an image search for exact copies, because 97% still got too many different images. What I just noticed is that the "Calculate hashed (image mode)" process is mostly single-threaded (with a second thread doing mi...

Re: Multi-threading bottleneck while processing image files

I let it run for a few more hours and noticed that when it came back to NEF files it ran between 13 - 18% average, so no idea what I saw earlier. When it came to lots of JPG files processing was limited to the single clr.dll thread, with only two other threads running well below 1% and the vcomp thr...

Multi-threading bottleneck while processing image files

Hello, I am currently testing DC Pro compared to various other such applications and like what it has to offer. Before I used Alldup, but it lacked an option to only find files inside the same sub-folders of a base folder structure, which is possible in DC. Now I run a Image mode scan of 15280 files...
