Difference with Media Duplicates and possible combining efforts?

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 8 April 2025, 5 months ago

These two modules appear to serve the save purpose:

Is there a fundamental difference in how these modules either detect duplicates (I understand Dupe uses hashes, but suspect Duplicates also does) or other that would warrant them remaining separate? Or is there potential for assessing the best implementations, extra features, etc. of both and consolidating efforts into one best recommended module?

    Thanks @w01f - I also just found this module and asked myself why we have these duplicates.

    I added media_dupe_detect as alternative on the module page of https://www.drupal.org/project/media_duplicates → and it would be great if the maintainer here could do the same vice-versa.

    I'd be very interested in merging both modules and work together on one module in the future. One super important feature still missing in both is merging duplicates, so that all entities referencing a media still work!

    @maintainer: Would you be interested in a cooperation and combining both in one well maintained module? Or can you tell the differences?
