Many of the images will have the same name. I somehow managed to copy
the same files several times when trying to do backup and restores.
At this point in time they are going from my Apple laptop to my
FreeBSD server. I am going to start looking for a inexpensive Tape
drive to back up my data.
I have been using iPhoto to manage my images.
Sincerely,
Joshua Lewis

Joshua,
On the dups, will the names of the files be the same or different?
Do you have plans on how you will be storing the images after you
get rid of the dups? Have the images be edited and if they have, did
you edit them with a EXIF aware program?
I use a program called epinfo to rename my images, it is part of the
photopc utility. I have just a little over 10,000 digital images and
store them by year, month, day and time. epinfo uses the EXIF data to
rename the files and set the time stamps for the files. I have
written
some php programs to allow me to display the images thru a web
browser. It uses a MySQL database to manage the images into
categories. I also store a checksum of the picture in the database
so I can check to see if the images have become damaged. I have a
script that I wrote check the check sum in the database to the image.
I do backups whenever I add new images to the hard drive. This is
still
a work in progress.
If you can send me a little more data on your files and how you want
to store the images, I could help you in you task.

Hello List,
I have a two part question for anyone who may be able to help.
I need to search my drive for all pictures on my system and copy
them to a networked system using sftp or ssh or what not. There will
be duplicate names on the drive so I was hoping to have dups placed
in a separate folder. Due to my for lack of a better term stupidity
when I first got my camera I will probably have instances when there
will be three or four duplicates. If anyone can help me out with that
it would be great.
Second is there a resource online I can use to learn how to do my
own shell scripting?
My goal is to find all my pictures and compare them then delete the
dups that don't look that good. A daunting task as I have 20 GB of
data. I bet 10 GB are dups.
Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,
Joshua Lewis
