After my first post about the new Fuzzy Searches tools included in digiKam for KDE4 to find images using sketch or to find similars images, a new search tool is now done to find all duplicates items around all collections.
This tool have been done in the way to replace the old FindImages kipi-plugins from KDE3. See below the dialog layout of this plugin:
This last one do not provide a graphical interface fully integrated with digiKam, and usability is not fine. The new tool is not a kipi-plugin. It have been implemented in digiKam core, and use the new Haar wavelets information stored in database. It's more simple to use and faster. See below a screenshot of digiKam Find Duplicate tool:
