Duplicate Image Deleter 1.0.6

thanks,works great and help me a lot

My tool became a bit obsolete with the new version of launchbox having a built in feature that removes duplicate images.  If there is still a need, i may be able to one day, but i am afraid im low on time right now.

It does look like there is still an issue with lb importing duplicate files (same name, different formats) that the built in cleaner doesnt get.  I may try to get around to implementing the resolution preference here soon.

Just posted an update with some UI tweaks and an option to prefer higher resolution as the one to keep.

i think i really need this tool to delete like file name with same hash. but you said LB can already do this without the plugin? how do you do that without this tool? i don't see any options in LB that will do it.

Edit: Sadly this won't help me because my duplicates are not the same size and sometimes even the same extension. Only way for me to know if it needs to be deleted is to look at the images.

Yeah, its kind of an imperfect science unfortunately.  And in my earlier post I think i was assuming LB's "Cleanup images" option under tools would do the same thing.  I think its close, but not quite.  I think it only looks for dups within each game, not across games or platforms.
