Use for scanning FOLDERS of photos only (in my opinion)
Will it detect if you copied and pasted in the same folder? Maybe. If it’s a supported file type (.tif, .jpg, …) and it’s really a copy of the same photo then yes. If it’s RAW, NEF or any advanced format, no. Can it compare TWO FOLDERS of pictures… It can NOT compare one folder to the native Mac Pictures app library of photos. E.g. You can’t open the pictures library (where your photos are) and any other folder.
Will it look for duplicates within the Pictures library itself…it says so…even with loose restrictions on matching it found none and I KNOW they exist. Oh wait, Pictures warns you about importing suspect duplicates — it doesn’t appear to detect rapid succession of pictures in a row…taken in bursts even with loose criteria for these photos.
Short story, I love the nterface and concept but the implementation is not there yet.
Oh, Lets talk support.. As an IT geek, I saw the 24x7 support and thought “impressive”… Then I dialed the number and overseas support wanted to screen share with me instead of answering my questions. I kept asking why and they then hung up on me. Hum… Again, great concept, poor implementation.
I’m hoping future versions fix these annoyances.
