This plugin is similar in concept to the long-established Check for Possible Duplicate Media plugin, but extends the scope to cover all media files, provides more detailed reporting, and adds optional merging of identical media records.
Although the core concept is similar to the earlier plugin, it has been completely rewritten using different tools and processing logic to enable it to include files with Unicode names and paths, as well as files of virtually unlimited size. Multiple files in the same media record, which is a GEDCOM 5.5.1 feature added in version 7 of Family Historian, are also supported. Processing time has been shortened markedly, and the plugin includes more detailed reporting options that are fully described in the accompanying help file.
As well as the existing manual merging processing (select a pair of records to be merged, then click on Edit > Merge/Compare Records… from the main Family Historian menu), there is a new option to automatically merge all identical media records, or to merge records where there are duplicate Media folder files that differ just by a numerical suffix.
