Re: DirDiffVim for folders, but files are missed?


I'd recommend using something like md5 to generate unique hash values for every file into a single file.
From that, extract just the md5 values and pipe to " sort | uniq -c | sort -nr"
This will generate a list of hash values reverse sorted by how often they occur. 
Anything occurring more than once, is duplicated (and will be near the top of the output).
Use those hash values to look up all the matching filenames in the original md5 file.

Of course, all of this will fail when anything minor (such as meta data) changes in a photo.

For automation regular `diff` seems a more appropriate tool. You can
call it in a script, etc.
