How to find files with duplicate filenames
I am trying to find all the files I have on a particular HD that have the same file names. They probably aren't duplicate files but just have the same name.
Basically, my volume has 850 GB of RAW images. I have recently adopted a new name scheme in order to improve the organisation of the files. The new name is based on SFA YYMMDDXXXX (where SFA identifies it is my image. YYMMDD is the date it was created. XXXX is a 4 digit counter starting at 0001 for each day).
My slight concern comes from the fact that the images are in different folders. I used to store images according to the shoot type. So it may have been possible that some file names have been used more than once.
While this is not a massive problem at the moment, it kind of defeats one of the reasons that I changed the naming scheme... To have a unique name for every file.
What I would like to do is find a quick way of scanning the whole HD and identifying whether there are any files sharing the same file name even if they are in different folders.
Any ideas?
