SYNOPHOTO_THUMB_ (typo at the end)

HI Pablo, the quickest route towards a solution is creating a list of all the images in a text file with all the names you like to have. Then run fastdup pointing to the list file. (Just a file with each new image on a seperate raw).

Something like

find /Photos/MobileBackup/iPhone/ -name '*.JPG' -type f | grep -v "@eaDir" > myfile.txt

import fastdup

fd = fastdup.create(input_dir = "myfile.txt", work_dir='output')

fd.run()

=> Let us know if this works for you.

Hi @pablo we are adding a new flag named find_regex in version 1.22 that will allow for regex solution, see find linux man page.

Specifically:

-regex pattern
          File name matches regular expression pattern.  This is a
          match on the whole path, not a search.  For example, to
          match a file named ./fubar3, you can use the regular
          expression `.*bar.' or `.*b.*3', but not `f.*r3'.  The
          regular expressions understood by find are by default
          Emacs Regular Expressions (except that `.' matches
          newline), but this can be changed with the -regextype
          option.

specifically for your use case run with fd.run(..., find_regex='.*.JPG') it should select only files ending with capital JPG and not the .jpg thumbnails.
