I played around with a JXA (JavaScript for Automation instead of AppleScript) script that searches for duplicate photos in your Photos library and marks them with a keyword. It turned out to be pretty simple. But it could be dangerous if you plan to use it to permanently deleted photos.Here is the script text: var Photos = Application("Photos"); Photos.includeStandardAdditions = true; var currentSelection = Photos.selection(); var photoDataList = []; for (var item of currentSelection) { var photoInfo = String(item.date())+" "+String(item.size())+" "+String(item.name()); var isDup = false; for(var i=0;i<photoDataList.length;i++) { if (photoDataList[i] == photoInfo) { isDup = true; break; } } if (isDup) { var keys = item.keywords(); if (keys == null) keys = []; item.keywords = keys.concat(["duplicate"]); } else { photoDataList.push(photoInfo); } }
