Hi all,

I have many duplicated photos on my G2 gallery so I used the linux utility fdupes to remove the duplicated photos in the g2data directory. Unfortunately this created many broken photo link in my gallery. Would you know of a way where I can easily clean up my broken links?

Thanks,

wow, that was not smart
I have a tool that will remove the items that have no corresponding image in g2data.

hi supridr,
your tool is not free, is it?

I wonder if somebody else might have this problem before and know how to fix it. I am familiar with database and perl programming so if someone could point me to the database table that I should fix then may be I can come up with the program myself.

thanks,

that is a very nice tool suprsidr. It works. It looks like that even if I chose a sub album, the tool always run it from the RootAlbum?

You rock man.
