#Another test
A simple C++ program that will search on a directory and all sub-directories images and check for repeated ones, works even on different resolution images!

There's a problem where images with specific unicode characters where this cannot be loaded. This has to do with the boost path library not supporting utf16 nor utf32, which means files with emojis for example cannot be open. In that case the only option is to change the name of the files. At least for now.
Opens a terminal and prompts you with instructions to open a folder and start looking for repeated images inside it and all sub-folders, after that based on your selection it will delete images automatically, show the names of the files or prompt you to manually delete each of them. In case you want to compile the code you need opencv, boost filesystem and sqlrite3 all the .dll is included in the latest release and is needed for the .exe to work no dlls needed anymore. Enjoy :3
- Simply download the latest release version (unless the version is a pre-release, those are usually buggy)
- Unpack everything in the same folder
- Run the .exe file
- The program will ask for some inputs
4.1. First input: The absolute directory to the images (C:/Documents/Homework) for example
4.2. Second input: What to do with the images, delete based on size or weight, or manually delete or just show the path of the images - Enjoy the "beautiful" progress bar
After release 2.1 there's a config file (config.cfg) where the user can change 2 things, choose whether or not to use OpenCL and the number of threads to use, you can change them by accessing the file and changing the yes for a no or the default number of threads for another but keep in mind a few things:
- Do not delete the # of the comment since it will remember future you if you need to change it (also the program needs it to parse the input)
- Do not put any space after the =
Right now I'm working on making the code Linux compatible (on it right now, problems with vcpkg), if you're gonna ask for Mac compatibility do it yourself I have no idea of Mac's things
Special thanks to my friend KiwiRives who helped polish from the first iterations. The code was created by me, Joan Gil using the libraries: OpenCV, Boost (because Windows sucks) and sqlite3 as the database.
If you're interested in donating to me (somehow) here's a link to paypal.
This program is offered for free as is, I am not responsible for problems it could have or create while running, if you want to modify or do something with my code please follow the License. Please remember that this program isn't perfect, the possibility of having a false positive is pretty narrow (and a false negative are pretty big) since it uses a very simple algorithm to process the images so please, don't use this with very important projects that need very high precision.
Finally, thanks for reading through and being interested in this project. I really appreciate it
