Thanks for the input. Actually, the goal wasn't necessarily to find duplicates. It was to find every image of every type on every drive. Over the years I've been quite careless about keeping image files organized and wanted to find out where some of them might be hiding on my several drives and multiple folders. Picasa did most of that except for my .psp and .pspimage files, but all of those files will exist in the same folders in which I started with original jpg, etc. files so it's not a big issue.hartpaul wrote:Hi Joe,
Would I be correct in that you also want to scan all your drives to try and locate duplicate files and so delete excess? There was another program that did this:

Again it is becoming outdated and apparently newer versions no longer support Windows. However you can still download older versions for XP and Windows 7 from that page.
But yes, I will eventually be culling duplicates as I get more organized, and from what I've seen Picasa can do that also, as can a couple of other programs I have.
Given the many thousands of images scattered throughout my system, getting organized is going to be a project to do over time. And of course lots of the images found are not images I took, downloaded, received, etc., but are part of programs. But at least everything is in it's folder in the Picasa database and the full path to all folders is shown so that will help somewhat in narrowing down my project.
