match duplicate images using EXIF data Sun Jun 01, 2014 7:45 am • by bashosfrog
I've got a folder cluttered with duplicate images that have different file names. Can I get Hazel to check for duplicates by using EXIF data - say, the time the image was taken, down to the second - and throw away one copy when a match is made?

I've searched around these forums, but can't see an answer.

Please do not post questions to the Tips forum. As the sticky article at the top of that forums states, it is for posting tips, not asking for them.

As for your question, you'll probably have to use a script for this. Either that, or specialized software made for this type of thing.
