czkawka VS bleachbit

https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka by far the best of anything iv tried

I've used Czkawka (https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka) because it does Lanczos-based image duplicate detection, which makes it more practical for me.

Maybe it's a setting you made or the files, not sure. You can try another software czkawka to see if you get better results with it.

For static images i used https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka and it works well enough. I think. But when i used it on a folder with gifs and their jxl conversions, it shows nothing. SURELY this could not be user error, rrrright?

I used to use DupeGuru which has some photo-specific dupe detection where you can fuzzy match image dupes based on content: https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/

But I switched over to czkawka, which has a better interface for comparing files, and seems to be a bit faster: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka

Unfortunately, neither of these are integrated into Photoprism, so you still have to do some file management outside the database before importing.

I also haven't used Photoprism extensively yet (I think it's running on one of my boxes, but I haven't gotten around to setting it up), but I did find that it wasn't really built for file-based libraries. It's a little more heavyweight, but my research shows that Nextcloud Memories might be a better choice for me (it's not the first-party Nextcloud photos app, but another one put together by the community): https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/memories

Czkawka can do this.

There's always the well-respected tool, Czkawka. Or, of the CLI is your thing, jdupes is a good option.

For who want the complete story, this is a recent issue with the Bleachbit cleaner in this github: https://github.com/bleachbit/bleachbit/issues/1518

No, but BleachBit is: https://www.bleachbit.org/

Especially when you make your own cleaners [0][1], which you can also can selectively invoke via the command line (and of course do that via schedule / cron etc.)

If you're looking to clean up space, use Disk Cleanup or BleachBit

*maybe* try running this program. you might have too much in the browser cache bogging it down.

They’re referring to BleachBit but they also don’t realize it’s software and not bleach.

BleachBit - it's like ccleaner but good

BleachBit is probably what you're looking for to clean up browser cruft and other things - avoid CCleaner, Avast ruined it. https://www.bleachbit.org/

That's why we use BleachBit
