FlickrDeDupr
FlickrDeDupr is an application to automatically identify duplicate
images in a Flickr account. It's nothing fancy and relies on
the Title being the same along with the DateTaken attribute.
This did the job for me to clean up the mess from the Windows
FlickrUploadr which has a habit of failing to upload and then offers
you the option to "Try Again" but fails to remove photos that had
already been uploaded before trying again. Hopefully it works
for others to help clean up their accounts.
For any feedback for the moment you can reach me via
Flickr (add me as a contact to be able to send me a message).
No
warranty is given or implied. Usual disclaimer stuff applies.
For now this is still Copyright to me. I may
release the
source (C# WPF .NET 3.5) under some sort of license at a later date.
This program uses Athena (a LINQ to Flickr) API
released under the Apache License.
I'll gladly accept donations via PayPal. Thanks in advance to anyone that cares to donate something.

Usage
First Time Use
1. Install FlickrDeDupr (see above)
2. Run FlickrDeDupr
3. The first time you run it you will need to log in to your
account (unless you've done so recently in IE) and authorise
FlickrDeDupr
4. You'll need to wait a while depending how many photos you
have in your feed, how fast your connection is, etc then you'll get
some results like the screenshot below.
5. You can now review the photos then click the Delete
Selected Photos, or if you don't trust the application to delete things
you can double click any photo to view it in your browser and delete it
from there. Also note hovering over a photo will display any
tags
it may have and (as seen above) the date the photo was taken along with
when it was uploaded and how many views it's had will be displayed.
The Buttons
- Refresh - This will refresh the list of duplicates.
Handy if you've manually deleted/added photos.
- Delete Selected Photos - Will delete any currently selected
photos.
- Clear Auth Cache - Will clear the cached authentication
information allowing you to log in to a different account.
