I started one of those about 3 years ago, but never completed it, for

- I realized that other apps for finding duplicate images actually do
look for duplicate images, not simply duplicate files (i.e. they claim
to find dups saved at different resolutions or compression levels),
and I knew I couldn't do that.
- someone gave me a coupon for lots of money-off from Adobe's
Lightroom, so I started using that :-)
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
