    Shotwell - not detecting duplicate images

    Shotwell is not detecting many of my duplicate images. The reason for this is that the metadata is different. I have imported about 4000 images that have the exposure date set to one hour earlier that their duplicates. (I believe the reason for this is that some photo program some years ago must have adjusted the metadata to correspond to daylight saving time.) In some cases the reason might be that image tags has been saved to the metadata.

    See file attachment for example.

    I guess the MD5 cheksum that shotwell takes of the images includes the metadata-information of the file.

    Does anybody know if there is a way of ignoring the metadata when Shotwell is looking for duplicate images?

    Altarnatively: Do you know of any other software that detects duplicates by only comparing MD5 checksums of the imagedata of the file?

    Regards
