FR: lightroom sort by size #14986

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to be able to sort images by file size

TurboGit commented 11 months ago

Nice... not sure, what would be the value for a picture oriented software?

because identical images will have the same file size, but may be in different directories.

I really doubt this to be stable rule!

It's okay that it's not for you. You haven't had this use case multiple times to require it.

I would like to understand your precise issue. Do you want to check for duplicates? duplicates with different filenames? Or check for diskspace used?

Duplicates with different filenames and in different directories.

then why not utilize a file system duplicate finder app rather than require a photo application to do system file service work? removing duplicate files, especially with different names doesn't seem to be a photo application job, ie: developting photo files.

The chance to get some sort of "duplicates" checker included in dt "core" by any of the active devs is likely zero. Maybe you can use the dt lua interface or a tool like fdupes for that.

That's why I'm just asking for a sort on file size. I'll just eyeball it as I'm going through rejecting images.

wpferguson commented 11 months ago

File size isn't stored in the database, so it's not available to sort on.

I can see multiple use cases for this

While most of this can be done by pixel size or file extension, you always have edge cases of file types that you did not know you had or extreme aspect ratios. File size is also something very intuitive 😉
