Hi,
I am looking for a library or script that compares differences in images
based on filenames as the stable datum, then modification date and filesize.
Specifically I often get images for a pjt earlier and then later a revised
set with all images again (whether revised or not). Instead of manually
comparing files or just blindly overwriting I thought applescript can do
this faster and tell me which ones are actually revised or new. I then can
hand this data to a third script that I am writing that will just copy the
files that I really need or rename the revised ones accordingly.
In deatail I am now looking for something that will based on file names
compare two folders with images each and then give me back the ones that are
different in a list of names followed by the difference. The differences I
am looking for are 1) differences in modification date and or 2) differences
in filesize. 3) files that are not contained in both folders so are either
totally new or were renamed.
As I started to write the code for this I thought there might be already a
library on this or script. Any ideas where I can find something like this so
I don't have to start from scratch? The main part I am looking for is
the "comparision" part of the script.
Thanks! Patrik
PS: Merry Xmas!
