Well I just realize that I have a lot of pictures on my Computer. Which is a good and not a problem, the bad thing is that I have a lot of doubles and a lot that are different but have with the same name. Which is bad. This came to pass not do to naming error but to the fact that digital Cameras and Cell phones save them as things like DS0000086.jpg or 1-20-08-2349.jpg. But that was just part of the problem. the problem started because my GF and I have the same kind of phone. And have taken a lot of pictures on trips and of our little girl. So this caused our phones to have different pics by the same name, and do to text messaging we have some pics that are just the same in every way.  I did a count of the total number of photos on our computer and it around 500 or so. I started going through them and found that when I copy them I get  a lot of "replace this with this" messages. I do not feel like going through every one to weed out the  duplicate Files, because there are a LOT of them. so do you know of any Duplicate File scanning programs that will find every duplicate File and show so I can rename or delete them with out taking 2 hours of looking myself.  :throw:

Haven't tried it myself, but it looks like it'll do what you're asking about.

thanks that was just what I needed worked great. I had a lot more pictures that were the duplicate Images than I expected. the cool thing about this program is it did not just go by name, it went by size, date, other factors as well. I had a duplicate Image that went by 4 different names. this grouped them together. If it was not for this program, I would have never even known that they were there.
