141670 2003-05-05 23:18:00 i have over 25 folders with photos in it..
and i am pretty certian in some folders there would be a few photos the same...like same file name..>OR different file name but same photo...
how can i print a list of file names so i can see if any are same..
OR print like small thumbnails so i can see photos and delete the same ones...
is there some sort of easier way than wading thru each folder 1 by 1 and trying tor emember if u saw that photo b4 or not....

i'm using winxp home if it helps..

141671 2003-05-06 00:26:00 there is a proggy called PrintDir by JPSWare, it will print out the list of file names and its free.

also ACDSee could possibly print out the thumbs... unsure there..

Go to Start/Run 'cmd'
'cd\<enter the full path to your photo directory here>'
'dir/a/s/w > files.txt'
'exit'

Go into the directory your photos are in and all your filenames are now in the file files.txt.

141674 2003-05-06 04:47:00 Hi,

If you have WinZIP, you just compress that folder which contains the extra 25 folders inside it.

Once you've made a ZIP file, just right click the zip file and choose Print.
You may need to use Landscape in your Page Setup options, in case you want to know the path of any existing photos.

Disadvantage: Maybe too time consuming if you have thousands of photos altogether, and you may require additional space if your hard drive doesn't have adequate room for you to perform the ZIP Task.

Or use the search for "Files and Folders" function inside your directory and then use the (*) function example: *.JPG

Just some ideas....

141675 2003-05-12 02:01:00 i tried both ideas....

winzip..would have got me 49 pages.....too many...

the cmd one...i cant do that one..been having trouble doing it so i gave up on it..

i still havent got what i wanted done...and meantime the photos are growing more and moreeeeeeee

141676 2003-05-12 07:12:00 I have a free program on my pc called Vallen Jpegger & it has the abilty to find duplicate photos,even if they are named differently.
It will show you the identical photos side by side so you can choose if you wish to delete one or not.
You will have to search for it on google.

It worked a treat for me.

cheers Steve

141677 2003-05-12 08:08:00 Steve, just having a read, that looks like quite a nifty little prog, i might just have to download it and give it a try :-) . Chris, i will be interested to see how you get on, with what you need it for, if you use it? And if it works for that kind of thing?

Cheers :-)
