[Enhancement] Remove Duplicates

[meichthys]

A Deduplication or "Remove Duplicates" feature would be welcomed!

Finding the duplicates is the easy part. Providing the interaction to know which one to remove is another piece of cake in the other hand...

That being said, I will not be working on this enhancement (other mights or project for volunteers).

Prompting the user to choose which duplicate to remove should be fine.

Like I said, easier said than done. 😅

Agreed. Just filed this issue for tracking here: https://github.com/meichthys/foss_photo_libraries#free-and-opensource-photo-libraries

I did not know about this repo, however this is a bit incorrect:

• Photo Discovery is covered with the On This Day smart album.
• Photo Map is covered: we do have the map in the top right corner.

Awesome. Thanks! I'll get that updated 👍

A bit late, but Yes.
And there is a settings which allows you to decide what happens in such cases.
