The execution is pretty expensive (in terms of execution time) and can slow down the duplicate finding process.Īnother challenge are the different metadata fields. If you turn on this option then Teekesslechen uses the ExifTool only for potential duplicates. Lightroom supports only seconds as smallest unit leading to unmeant duplicates if you take more than one photo per second. This can be very helpful for continuous shootings. Teekesselchen can use this application to get more information, e.g. ExifToolĮxifTool is a programm written by Phil Harvey which, extracts Exif metadata from photos. The capture date can now be deactivated (this was not possible in earlier releases).

The recommendation is: try to avoid name and size but use it when necessary. Usually it is notĪ good idea to use this, but in some special cases it can be useful. You can now chose the file name, size and type as criterion. An empty meta-data field will always be ignored. Usually it is a good idea to select all fields but you can reduce the processing time by using less meta-data fields. Teekesselchen takes the selected meta-data fields and marks photos with equal values as duplicates. Folder metadata extraction will now return a new sentinel error (ErrNotFile).This section offers the selection of meta-data about the camera, settings during the image acquisition, global positioning system (GPS) and the capture time.
