czkawka VS tqdm

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.

yeah my code needs to use multiprocessing, which does not play nice with tqdm. thanks for the tip about positions though, that helped me search more effectively and came up with two promising comments. unmerged / require some workarounds, but might just work:

> Like tqdm (Python progressbar library) but as a Unix utility.

FYI: tqdm can be used in a shell pipeline as well. It's documented (at least) in their readme: https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm#module

BTW, my inspiration was https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm library for python and any contribution is welcome to add similar functionality.

I can recommend you the package tqdm (https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm) You can replace the standard for statement with it, or use it with any other iterable. By default, it gives you a progress bar with a percentage and ETA, but you can also configure it to only print the percentage, if you want that. If you want to use print statements, adding \r at the beginning and not putting a line end should also do the trick.

you try to run an python script that requires the tqdm package and also a regex package (what normally should be installed, when installing python). Blender tries to install these packages without success. You probably have to do it on your own by installing them in your pythons virtual environment.

If OP is using python that might be the output of python's tqdm.

I have a client-server socket program where the server sends a file to the client. The server is designed to allow multiple clients using threading. For the file transfer on the client, I am using the tqdm library (https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm).
