thewhite Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Image Comparison Tool – Easily Detect and Handle Duplicate Images View File Hi, LaunchBox often downloads multiple images for the same category (e.g., multiple front covers for a single game). However, not all images are equal — sometimes you want to keep the higher quality version, or prefer the American cover over the European one. My tool helps you quickly compare and clean up duplicate images by relying on filenames to group related images (like multiple covers for the same game). Instead of going through the LaunchBox interface, selecting a game, navigating to the images tab, and manually sorting through them, this tool shows image pairs side by side so you can instantly decide which one to keep or remove. ⚡ This will save you countless minutes when cleaning up large collections. 🔧 Features: Compare images from two folders based on filename similarity (e.g., Zoop-01.jpg vs Zoop-02.jpg) Detect and display duplicates within the same folder Preview matching images side-by-side Move or delete images with one click Optional: Move unselected images to a target folder while recreating the original folder structure Automatically sends deleted files to the Recycle Bin if no target folder is set 🚀 How to Use: Select Primary Folder and Secondary Folder — These are your two image collections (e.g., cart and fan art cart). (Optional) Choose a Target Folder — This is where non-selected (duplicate) images will be moved. If left empty, files will be sent to the Recycle Bin. Click Start to begin the comparison. If matches are found: Images are shown side-by-side. Use Move/Delete buttons to act on one of the files. Use Skip to move to the next pair. After inter-folder comparison, the tool will automatically check for duplicates within Primary Folder, then within Secondary Folder. 🗂️ If a file is moved to the target folder, the tool preserves its original structure. Example: If the file is located at V:\Launchbox\images\snes\Cart\Zoop-01.png, and the target folder is V:\Duplicates, the moved file will be placed at: V:\Duplicates\Cart\Zoop-01.png Submitter thewhite Submitted 07/17/2025 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins 1 Quote
