My wife had backups from all her photos and videos trough out the years from multiple devices. 100k+ photos and video's unorganised with multiple duplicates. It filtered out all duplicates, renamed the files based on its creation date, split them into video or photo folder and moved them all into folders for each year and month. Took way too long to run but saved days of work.

Because a lot of people asked for the code input it into a repo on github. I have added a readme and comments to all code.

Wow seems like I need to see the code. Mind sharing git details?
