Diff worked, similar to Meld, with a clear list of what files (photos) are
in or not in directories.
I'm stuck on the command to extract just the md5 values?
Directory with photo files -> find -H directoryName/ ! -type d -exec md5sum
{} + >sum.md5 -> select Enter -> sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
checksum’sFileName.md5 -> select Enter -> not sure how to extract just the
md5 values?
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Documents$ cat sum2.md5
