rclip VS czkawka

The installation instructions are in the project README: https://github.com/yurijmikhalevich/rclip. I use the prebuilt executable option to install it on my Synology NAS.

rclip source code is published on GitHub under the MIT license: https://github.com/yurijmikhalevich/rclip. Give it a try, and let me know what you think!

Use this command line project called rclip which is the easiest way to use CLIP models on your local folders of images. It was written by /u/39dotyt (thanks again!).

The latter would be easy to use with https://github.com/yurijmikhalevich/rclip .

For images rclip can give you search that's better than Google Photos with entirely unannotated data and pure natural English queries.

Google Photos can do this kind of searching for specific objects and combinations. I'm not sure if there is a tool that you can install locally that will do it. What we're probably looking for is a local image search engine powered by CLIP. Something like this, but with a GUI on Windows. It would be cool if tools like Eagle integrated CLIP into them, so you didn't have to manually tag everything, they were just auto-tagged with the content that is already in them. PhotoPrism might be the closest thing yet.

Indexing was done with this other guy's github project. It was convenient because it automatically handles things like "continue where it left off".

It's based on https://github.com/yurijmikhalevich/rclip who posted his project here a while ago.

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.
