iPhoto Dupes Filling my Drive

240GB seemed like a lot a year ago.  I had been living with 100GB for years, so I thought I was OK.  But now my HD is functionally filled.  Drat.  The big culprits are easy to spot if you use an app like Disk Inventory X, you get to see nice big chunks of data living on your disk.  Not surprising, one of the biggest is photos.  I am working on editing curating them. Saving mediocre photos will not help them improve.

One of the culprits I was not aware of was the number of duplicate photos.  I saw an handy utility called Duplifinder on Macgasm, so I downloaded it.  Thank you Joshua Schnell!  When Duplifinder got done auditing my iPhoto library, it had found over 500 duplicate photos.  Some I had even re-named, making the task even more of a challenge.  Once Duplifinder found em, I pressed the button to delete em.  That is when I was asked to pay.  I gladly ponied up the $7 for this clever bit of coding, and now my hard drive is cleaner.  Ahhhhh!
