Duplicate Finder

Overview

Duplicate Finder is a Python application designed to identify and handle duplicate images and videos in a specified directory. The application uses the difPy library for image comparison and a custom DuplicateFinder class for video comparison. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) built with PySimpleGUI to facilitate user interaction and display results.

Features

• Image Duplicate Finder: Detects duplicate images in a specified folder and moves them to a dedicated directory.
• Video Duplicate Finder: Identifies duplicate videos and moves them to a separate directory.
• Progress Bar: Visual feedback of the scan progress through a progress bar in the GUI.
• Results Display: Shows a summary of found duplicates in the application window.
