[sllug-members]: GUI for finding and deleting duplicate files?

[Marc Christensen]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good GUI solution for finding and 
deleting duplicate files.

I have a directory structure for my photographic images organized like this:

    ./images
            /20051003-101nd200
            /20051104-101nd200
            /20060320-100olymp
            /20070309-101nd200
            etc...

where the directory name includes the date of the dump followed by the 
camera's directory from the memory card.  This allows me to easily 
organize the photos roughly by date.  However, I have a bad habit of not 
always formatting my memory cards after a dump :) So, successive 
directories may contain pictures which have already been dumped.  Now, 
this creates a problem.  If I decide to do further work on a picture or 
set of pictures, there's no real guarantee that I'll work on the 
image(s) dumped first.  So a project (located in the same dir usually) 
may be associated with the first dump or any dump made later making the 
removing of duplicates only by date sub-optimal.  In projects, I don't 
modify the originals but I work in the same directory.

There are several CLI tools that find duplicate files that I am familiar 
with.  The issue is that while doing this programatically would be fast 
and efficient (I could just delete the newer of two or more identical 
files), this could mess with my highly awesome and coveted process of 
photo organization as outlined above.

So, while a lot slower, I'd like to be able to preview duplicates in a 
GUI and make sure that I'm saving the right ones.

Any ideas?
