I have consolidated my photos from several sources into a single collection now managed by digiKam. As you can imagine, I have ended up with several duplicates in the process.
I started out by executing "Find Duplicates" for each album with the similarity range of 100% - 100%. That worked well for getting rid of several dupes... but I still notice them in my albums.
I switched to a 99%-100% similarity range, and quickly realized what is going on. I have several different sizes of the same image... so visually they are identical, but being different sizes had them escaping the 100-100 range.... for good reason. They are actually different. So props to digiKam for showing me that they are 99% similar... with that 1% difference essentially being the overall file size.
So now I want to keep the larger of all of the duplicate sizes.
What is the best way to achieve this?
I see sometimes the "Reference Image" is the smaller, so I can't just say "Remove Duplicates" because that will delete the larger sized versions in many cases.
I need to be able to ensure the reference image is the larger version, or find another way to narrow those as the keepers so I can bulk delete the other smaller versions.
Any ideas, or tips?
Thanks!
