Huh - "an hour or two" ? :-)

OK, it's barely presentable, but it does work (of the 30K photos on my 
disk, about 9K are duplicates !!)
NB it's JUST a duplicate checker for jpgs, and can be slow firt time 
it's run (it builds a database of photo files and their MD5 hashes), but 
subsequent runs it will only re-calculate MD5 for new and modified 
files); you can interrupt most things by clicking the STOP button, and 
it will save work done so far.

You can download it from www.tweedly.co.uk/DuplicateResolver.livecode
(sorry - brand new web site /domain, so nothing fancy there - just this 
one file to download :-)

It's ugly, not as efficient as it could be - but it works, and might be 
somewhere to start ...
(and, btw, it's re-tweaked my interest in the whole project ....)

oh - and it's developed in LC 7.0.something
