I have done this and it marks a lot of them “duplicates” but I can’t find some of those photos (searching by date) in my regular library. I hate to delete them and lose some of them. Is there some way to find the original as opposed to the duplicate?

Hi…simple question….does this script work with Aperture files – libraries?

thanks

just to clarify, it’s working until that one file, which interrupts and prevent the script from going through the library any further.

great script, seems to work unfortunately i get an error at one particular photo, seems to be looking for a photo that isn’t there anymore (i’m guessing it’s a particular photo that I either saw as a duplicate myself a while back or was pr0n). i’d restore the pic from a backup but let’s just say my external backup drive isn’t in working order at the moment. so the script is working fine until it gets to that one particular event date in iPhoto. i did the iPhoto Library rebuild already thinking that would solve the issue but i’m suspecting (though hoping not the case at all) perhaps the rebuild is what did it by pointing to a file that isn’t there anymore. help!

btw, although i’m not exactly computer illiterate, been on a mac for just over a year and a half and it’s only now that i’ve attempted dealing with issues i’ve become more accustomed to dealing with on Microsoft Windows machines, and scripting was never my forte back in college (which is almost a decade ago)

Thanks in advance.

I started looking for duplicates yesterday using Annihilator, I have 13,000 and it is still running 22 hours later. Can this be right? I know I have a lot of duplicates in all shapes and sizes.

Wow, I went digging on problems as in the past 6 years, most of my dimmers have failed, and after trying to replace a few key ones, and resetting the others, just about every other switchlinc dimmer has failed the rest of the way. Absolutely terrible quality on these things! I’m rather afraid to bother spending more on the garbage since a few comments seem to indicate they really haven’t fixed anything from a poor design started 6-7 years ago, but I really am not looking forward to replacing with zwave, especially when they don’t have much (reasonably priced) options for colored dimmers (most of mine are black). Argh!!!!

Yeah, I’m in the same boat, just gonna bite the bullet, take a loss on all the Insteon stuff and use another device protocol, if I’m going to swap out devices it’s not going to be with something that I may have to repeat. Heard good things about Z Wave.

Comment on Batter Blaster – Wrong for America by Janelle Huston

I ran across this while making picture directions for making breakfast for a 21-year-old student who is new enough to America he did not know how a toaster worked and he does not know what breakfast means! LOVE your blog! I feel the same way – Both my husband and I incorporate our kids in the kitchen making food – they are 15 and 9…they’ve been cooking since they were each 7-8 years old. Good for you for standing up for active parenting!
