I'll dig it up, and spend an hour or two making it at least minimally 
presentable and see if it's a helpful starting point for you.



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

When you say catalog and tag what are you looking to do ?
Do you simply want tags within the app, or do you need tags to be 
re-inserted into the metadata within the jpg file ?
Do you hope to search or group photos based on their metadata (note this 
can be slow if you do it within LC - might be worth choosing a suitable 
open-source companion app to batch extract the metadata) ? Which 
platform(s) do you need?

Hi,

I need a photo organizer to catalog, trim, move, delete, tag, etc.

I have been using google's Picasa 3 but now it chokes as I've got too many
images (15,000).

Does anyone have a LiveCode solution for this already built and is it open
source?

Even a LC widget to find duplicate files / images would be a big discovery.
