Hello

i have a lot of images stored on an USB HDD. A big amount of these images are duplicates. How can i find those duplicates on command line?
How can i sort them by "Date Taken" in new folders?

There are various utilities for finding duplicate files.  ExifTool doesn't have that functionality.

To sort files into directories by date taken, see here.  (specifically, example 12)

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
