![]() So the only way to clean up duplicates was to group photos by their created time or filename with small variations and keep only one photo from the group by the heuristic criteria (photo resolution or size). And the last problem was that a filename does not always reflect created time of the photo, which is encoded to EXIF and can be extracted only by API. This case became worse when Google Photo applied compression to photos, so I could not distinguish photos just by their size. ![]() ![]() Somehow they broke their algorithm for detecting whether the local photo was uploaded, so the Google Photo contained thousands of photos but with names that may be the same or differ by a second. I wrote it to handle the case when the Google Photo application started to repeatedly upload local files from my Android phone. It’s up to specialized photo tools or organizers. The script cannot help with a more general case when it’s needed to find photo duplicates based on their content. The script solves the very specific problem with repeated uploading same files.
