Need help with duplicate selection...

Hello everyone,

I have a folder with a lot of duplicate pictures. I have the duplicatecleaner pro. Some are very similar. When I use the regular mode same content setting and any of the content comparison type (even the byte by byte) I don't get any hits. If I use the photo mode set at 99%, it groups some photos that are not duplicates.

This means I need to go through each group and decide if it truly got it right. Am I doing something wrong?

Is there a way to quickly jump from group to group using the image preview and select or not select the images within the group?

Thanks
-S

That sounds about right - the exact content comparison won't find slightly different pictures, only exact duplicates (with the same metadata, etc). Basically where the file has been copied.

It may still group similar photos that aren't exact duplicates, especially if you are scanning a huge amount of files. For more accuracy, try it with 'Find rotated' /'flipped' turned off.

Jumping from group to group and selecting in the image preview will be in version 4.0 - it's not possible in the current version.
