I do not know why you keep saving all those icons of mein Bruder. You must stop, you do not have the space on any of his accounts to upload any more icons.

Ja, I know you spent all day on that other site looking for icons for me, but that is no excuse! Now go organize all of your picture folders, I will not do it for you. Honestly, you're as bad as Bruder.

Mein Bruuuder?

[vereinigt]

Ah, apologize... er... talking lion... it means "My Brother." [he makes an effort to pronounce it correctly in English, even if the existence of a talking lion is rather strange]

[pridelanderprincess]

Your brother? So then...is your brud--err, brother like your mun?

[vereinigt]

Ja, they are both loud and disorganized and only like to do things for praise. [but he still loves his brother]

[pridelanderprincess]

And...is Ja a name?

[vereinigt]

Nein, ja means "yes". [he's itching to ask questions]

I do not mean to be rude, but how is it that you are talking.

[pridelanderprincess]

Oh, uh... [ that is a good question. one of the mysteries of the universe. but then...you're just as strange to her as she is to you. ]

I...was born with the ability to speak?

[vereinigt]

It is strange to me to find a lioness that understands human communication. [notebook and pen where did you come from]

[rocketry]

Asking for organization from them is sometimes a bit much.

[vereinigt]

She will organize all of her pictures, all ten thousand of them.

[rocketry]

That's-- That's quite a number.

[vereinigt]

I am sure it will decrease once she removes the duplicates.

[rocketry]

Are there a lot of duplicates, then? Because even if half of them are, that's still.. five-thousand pictures..

[vereinigt]

There is at least one thousand duplicate images. [not even kidding]

[rocketry]

I.. guess it's good that she's thorough, at least..

[vereinigt]

Ja, very thorough. [what is this oppressive feeling]

[rocketry]

[ woah, change of subject. ] --May I ask where you're from? I call Munich home, myself.

[beneidenswert]

Oi! Don't go comparing your messy ass mun to me! My intolerance for messes isn't as high as yours, but I hate them almost as much as you do!

Case in point, my mun's own 20,000 images are well-organized, with few duplicates! Somewhat! They're probably better organized than most people's! And if there are any duplicates, they were added very recently! L-like yesterday recently!

[vereinigt]

I'm pleased to see your cleaning up your own messes, Bruder.

Mein mun is finally working on her own images and will soon remove the duplicates she is only waiting to see which have the greatest resolution.

[beneidenswert]

I always clean my messes, West!! It's everyone else's that I'm not gonna bother with. No one ever praises me enough for all the hard work I do for them, so I'm not gonna bother!

Isn't there an option to organize things that way? If she moves them all to another folder, then organizes them by resolution, it'll go much faster! She could always just download something to find duplicates for her, right!? And make it a thousand times easier!!

[vereinigt]

There are programs to identify duplicates? [this is new information] And a way to organize by resolution?

[beneidenswert]

West, there're programs for just about everything. [Looks disappointed in you. Like, for some reason, you should know this. Even though you don't spend that much recreational time online like he does.] Tell your mun to google "visipics"; that's what my mun used! Y--no, wait, I was thinking of a different word. Forget that! [Waves it off! He was mixing up resolution and. . .resolution. The resolution the monitor displays/dimension. Don't expect him to remember all these little things, he's old!] The program shows you the duplicated images once it loads everything--then you can just go through them and decide which one's better quality! Simple! As long as everything's in the same folder or a bunch of subfolders, anyway.

[vereinigt]

[he's scribbling all of this down now and nodding along. Yes, his big brother still could teach him something]

I'm sorry. You don't need to read all of that, I just couldn't help it.

[beneidenswert]

[What kind of thought is that!? He's an infinite pool of knowledge!!!] Anyway, once it's downloaded and installed and all that, open it! It'll want to open up as soon as it's done anyway. First, go to the little measure-y bar thing on the right of the screen and choose how strict your mun wants the similarities to be. [Don't ask where he got that chalkboard. Draws a scribbly diagram of the whole program's window--you're taking notes, he might as well teach, right!? Points at everything as he talks about it] Making it too strict won't get any results, so it's pretty good to just make it loose and go through everything!

Then choose the right folder from the folder selection-majig in the middle of the screen and then the arrow with the plus sign on it! Then press the play button! If you don't have a lot of pictures--overall, not just duplicates!!--in the folder, it shouldn't take too long, otherwise, go do whatever until it's done!

On the left side of the screen there'll be little boxes with images in them! Those're your duplicates and similar-looking things! If you mouse over one, it'll show you the picture itself in the bottom middle of the screen(at the bottom-bottom you can see exactly where it is,) so you can determine, yourselves what to keep! If you click the little thumbnail it gives you on the left, it'll select it for deletion or to be moved--just go through everything like that! When you're done, click "delete"(or "move" but you probably want delete) on the right, and you're done! No more duplicates!! Any questions!?

[he's put on glasses and his serious student face as he listens and takes notes. He even draws the diagrams on his notepad.

He takes a few moments to read through his notes and makes sure he has everything]

Will it find things even if the file has become corrupted?
