I definitely hear you regarding duplication. This whole project evolved from a script I wrote to do just that. There is a concept of multiple versions (files) of an image so different edits with the same metadata timestamp will show only once and you'll be able to select the preferred one. I prefer to handle things this way to start and then suggest deletions based on same hash rather than deleting up front.
I don't have any experience of Lightroom but I can have a go at reading the files if you think it's useful.
- zerkten 7y agoI like your approach. I'll play around more with your app. Thinking about the LR catalogs, I wonder how much is tied up there versus being written back to image metadata. It's probably better to see what data is there and recommended workflow before spending too much time.
- jonathankoren 7y agoI have something that works fairly well for duplicates and automatic organization based on date. It’s python, so you can try integrating it, but it’s not a module, just a single file script. https://github.com/jonathankoren/photo-autorganize https://github.com/jonathankoren/photo-autorganize
