asked on duplicate picture folder software
a friend of mine has thousands of pictures, scattered over his whole pc, and has up to 5 duplicate locations for the pictures in 3 different disk drives
i am looking for a good software to compare picture folders, so i can delete duplicate folders
please only post software you used and like; eventually with the proper settings - and why you prefer it over others
best is free, but if needed, i'll pay for software with better options

that's fine -buti did not ask about a file finder, but a duplicate FOLDER finder
do you happen to know a "good" one?

I actually could use something like this, so while I didn't know of any tool specifically for this I did a little poking around. I haven't experimented with these yet, but I am going to take a look since I think I could use these for a couple of cleanup jobs I have in mind. Although my need is a little different than yours, and doesn't focus just on image files...
I'll post back if I learn anything interesting, but I'll pass these along in case you want to take a look too. These all seem to have a folder compare capability (often in addition to file compare mode).

Understand, I still like to do a lot manually when it comes to removing duplicate files and folders, and have been a long time user of Beyond Compare but not sure that is what you are looking for so not suggesting it. I also have an older tool called DiskState that I still use for some duplicate file removal, but it doesn't address your need of folders.
I'll share what I learn on these other new ones...

i ran the duplcate file finder, but the free version does not allow any specific settings, so that does not help much
