That does not explain why you need Check for Duplicate Media to move identical files instead of deleting them.johnmorrisoniom wrote: ↑05 Jan 2024 11:11 The new Check for Duplicate Media functionality would do away with the need to run the unlinked media plugin.
They will not only have identical content but also have identical filenames apart from the (n) suffix and the merged Media records were identical too. It is mainly intended to deal with the import bug that is now fixed.
Also, Check for Duplicate Media does not intend to auto-merge duplicates where the Media records differ.
So those will need to use File > Compare/Merge Records... manually and the Check for Unlinked Media plugin is still needed to clean up any media files that are unlinked as a result of the merging.
The important point is that Check for Duplicate Media only involves duplicate files which are probably a mistake and redundant, whereas Check for Unlinked Media does not know whether files are duplicates or not.
