| Summary | 0019087: Duplicate Manager | ||||
| Description | Placeholder--This functionality needs to be specced. Currently duplicate management is a very complex/manual process. MM should have a single tool that allows the user to: - Easily find all duplicates via a combination of existing hash (exact duplicates) and artist/title matching + fingerprinting to help automate the process for finding duplicates that are either similar sounding (different versions) or are missing track metadata. - Visually display possible duplicates in a manner that makes it obvious which items are possible duplicates (e.g. grouping them) - Facilitate selection of which items to retain and which to reject - Automatically recommend which files to retain and which to reject (e.g. via rules based on bitrate, volume leveling, etc.) - Automatically recommend which metadata to retain (e.g. most recently updated track OR merge of metadata OR selection of metadata, TBD) - Allow play history of deleted entries to be merged with the retained entries (e.g. last played should be the most recent date, played # should be the sum of all played # values). - Allow playlists to be automatically updated with the retained entries Additionally, it should be able to handle cases in which the duplicates actually exist AND/OR cases in which there are duplicate database entries (even if the tracks do not exist) Note: usecases could involve: - finding duplicates within a set of selected tracks - finding whether a set of tracks already contains duplicates elsewhere in the library | ||||

What about to add 'Deduplicate' as the first item to the context menu for these nodes: Files to Edit -> Duplicate Titles/Artists Files to Edit -> Duplicate Titles Files to Edit -> Duplicate Content Selecting a node (or selection of files) -> right-click -> Deduplicate would show dialog like this: -------------------------------- Do you wish to remove 115 duplicates from your library? (o) Delete from the database only ( ) Delete from the database and drive [x] Create backup [x] Retain files with higher bitrate / quality [x] Join metadata (in case of conflict prefer those with newer timestamp) -------------------------------- Left assigned to me for implementation, then wording can be adjusted by Rusty. |
