Why is there no check for redundant files
Posted: 15 Jun 2013, 08:07
So I just recovered some photos for a lady off her HDD after she reinstalled her OS (over 200,000 images) and Photorec nearly ran out of room recovering images (only .jpg's). Looknig into it with a duplicate image checking tool I found some were recovered 18,24 and even 56 times.
I believe there needs to be options to check for duplicates during and immediately after recovery. I am spending way too much time tracking down duplicate images as it is. While I'm working on my own solution to this problem I will gladly contribute anything I get to work but I'm not an expert and a hand in doing this or perhaps someone to do it for me would be much appreciated.
