fslint
I did just this, but by copying all of the pics from the various devices to a linux fileshare, and then ran: http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/ Nice software, did exactly what I wanted.

fslint
fslint is a toolkit to find all redundant disk usage (duplicate files
for e.g.). It includes a GUI as well as a command line interface. -
Re:Not again...
No amount of ranting is enough in this matter. Windows 8 is trash.
Sadly Windows RG is starting to look more and more like a step up.

Re:I think you just proved his point.
All depends on which Bluetooth standard you're running, too. Feel free to check the chart over here for a speed comparison. It tries to show usable bandwidth rather than peak theoretical speeds, and looking at the numbers, I'm betting that the problem wasn't Bluetooth itself, but rather a butt-ugly implementation of it. My VoIP runs on far less bandwidth than the slowest BT standard.

Re:What about rejected organisations?
Yeah, because both of the original authors (Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis) now work at google.

Re:The More Things Change...
I agree (well, mostly). I enjoy Digg, but only visit it when I have exhausted all the rest of my news-reading for the day and still want to see some interesting links. However, Digg has a few weak points:
1. You can only reply to comments of depth 1 -- nothing below that. Thus, if you post some insanely stupid comment in response to someone else, no one can directly respond to you. They have to post lower down on the page with something like, "@dipshitdigger: Here is why you are wrong: [yadda yadda]," or whatever.
2. There are too many idiots with power (meaning: everyone can moderate all the time). You can go check out my comment history. One time have I made an incorrect statement on Digg, and I got modded down for it (rightfully so). However, the rest of the time, I have made accurate and informative posts. Now, on Slashdot, I have gained friends, fans, and good karma. However, on Digg I have merely been ignored. Now, for the most part, I'm "above all that karma shit." However, it is indicative of a problem in that it shows that not many people value certain types of intelligent, well-thought-out input. For primarily this reason have I stayed with Slashdot and not moved to Digg; no one seems to know the good from the crap. The idiocy of the masses is all-powerful there. There seems to be a "too long, didn't read"-type mentality among the users when modding comments.
3. There is too much information to read it all. I don't even have Digg on my RSS reader because there are just too many items that get added to the feed. I'm not 14 years old. I don't have time to read every page on the internet that other people find interesting.
Of course, Digg is useful when I want to be surprised with random interesting pages (a good crib sheet of Linux commands made it to the front page the other day).
Oh yeah, and there are no HTML tags allowed. I'm sorry, but when I think of linking people to information, I think of it like a web developer: with anchor tags (see link in previous paragraph).
I don't harbor any hatred towards Digg, just a little disappointment that a great idea can be ruined by so many Kevin Rose worshippers. Seriously, you can't make a constructive criticism about him or Digg without having your comments dugg out of existence (their anniversary Diggnation episode was like some huge circle jerk or concert backstage party as far as I am concerned -- absolutely disgusting and I'm sorry I wasted my bandwidth on it). -

Re:What's so 'Java' about it?
Well it ships a java runtime environment by default
and uses some java applications for various things
I took a screenshot which hopefully gives a good summary. -
wicked good or wicked bad?
I have to say there are no scripts
there that I would find particularly
useful or that the logic isn't already elsewhere.
Here's my personal collection of
command line tips and

Re:Units, units, units!!!
Flash uses the same units as disks (powers of 10).
So it should be 64MiB and 256MB.

Re:Back button.
As with most things, the keyboard is much faster
for navigating than using the mouse (as you have
to move your eyes/hands and look for the back button).
Alt+Left is the combination on mozzilla & galeon.
You can find many more handy keyboard shortcuts here -
Re:pyGTK is the EASIEST GUI toolkit
PyGTK + libglade is a fabulous combination.
1. "Draw" the GUI in glade.
2. Save the xml file
3. In your python program essentially draw(xml file)
Advantages:
you/users can alter the xml file as required
completely cross platform
python really is a fabulous language.
For an e.g. see FSlint
