Checking for Duplicate pictures according to filename and datetaken. More accurate

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I added some code to check for duplicate pictures before uploading.  It checks 
against filename and date taken.

                user = flickr.test_login()
                no_duplicate = True
                #double check for duplicate images
                if exiftags != {}:
                    datetaken_photos = flickr.photos_search(user_id=user.id, text=os.path.basename(image), extras="date_taken")
                    for dt in datetaken_photos:
                        if(dt.datetaken.replace('-',':') == str(exiftags["Image DateTime"])):
                            no_duplicate = False
                            logging.debug("found duplicate picture, skip")
                            self.logUpload(dt.id, folderTag )

I'm using this to check Video duplicates.  Not that accurate though in case 
your file names get reused.  Worked for me though.

                if(no_duplicate):
                    sametag_photos = flickr.photos_search(user_id=user.id, text=os.path.basename(image), media="video")
                    logging.debug(out)
                    if (sametag_photos or len(sametag_photos) > 0):
                        no_duplicate = False
                        logging.debug("found duplicate video, skip")     
                        self.logUpload(sametag_photos[0].id, folderTag )

isn't committed yet.  What do you think Peter?

also, 'extras' and 'media' need to be added in flickr.py

Yes, this is a good idea, the time stamp along with file name should be good 
unique identifier, go ahead and commit it if it works, may be with some 
comments around so I can later test it as well when I get around coding this 
again ;)

It's been awhile since I've used this code but I believe it is after line 304 
on the uploadr.py file.  You can add that function after "def uploadImage( 
self, image ):"

I have added it but when I try to run the uploadr.py, I get the following error.

  File "uploadr.py", line 318
    if ( not self.uploaded.has_key( folderTag ) ):
                                                 ^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

Hi,
I have added support for updating pictures if they changed locally in the file 
system. Flickr allows you to upload the same file multiple times, I think that 
if you have a duplicated file in your file system, folders2flickr should upload 
it no matter what. It must replicate local data to Flickr, that's the intention 
of this project.

Regarding updates, that's different because let's say that you a jpg in your 
file system that you loaded from your camera Today, during the night the 
scheduler triggers folder2flickr so the file gets uploaded. Tomorrow you edit 
this jpg because you wanted to crop it or whatever, you would really like to 
see these changes replicated into Flickr (without having to do any manual thing 
or duplicating files) so, the code has been added into this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/folders2flickr/issues/detail?id=29

Hope this will help you!
Regards

Any more updates to this code?

Sorry no updates

This method will work well enough until you encounter a photo that doesn't have 
correct EXIF data. In this case, the datetaken of the photo will be set to be 
the date it was uploaded (a terrible, terrible idea...)

This will confuse folders2Flickr.
