Re: DirDiffVim for folders, but files are missed?

Diff worked, similar to Meld, with a clear list of what files (photos) are in or not in directories.

I'm stuck on the command to extract just the md5 values?

Directory with photo files -> find -H directoryName/ ! -type d -exec md5sum {} + >sum.md5 -> select Enter -> sort | uniq -c | sort -nr checksum'sFileName.md5 -> select Enter -> not sure how to extract just the md5 values?

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Documents$ cat sum2.md5

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.
