Aperture Duplicate Detector
ADD will never delete anything. Detected duplicates are simply tagged with keywords. They are: •ADD Unique •ADD Processed •Date Duplicate •Filename Duplicate •Hash Duplicate •Hash Original •Hash [x] Set:[] •ADD Similar [x] ADD was designed from the ground up to be safe. Safe with respect to your images and the Aperture library. ADD uses only approved Apple APIs. It communicates directly with Aperture to get its job done, guaranteeing there will be no “funny business”. We have not reverse-engineered the Aperture database in order to achieve our goals. We certainly had the option to do that, but decided it was too risky a proposition given that the structure changes with almost every update to Aperture. The APIs, on the other hand, have remained stable. The bottom line is that ADD is the safest way available to remove duplicates from your library.
