it could also be annotated with a -2 if a photo was exported into another program or editor and reimported to Lightroom, so the -2 could be the enhanced version. It would be good to see both side by side and see whether they are located in the same directory also a direct comparison could be made to verify before deletion. But given Lightroom cannot even be bothered to enable users to have the most recent photo directories at the top, the most basic of expectations, I realise why people have given up and left in droves. Almost 20 years and we have to scroll past every directory; listed to get to the most recent one as reverse order is not an option, get better options in free software. Thanks for your video though a great starting point.
Good point. This technique is really designed for people who accidentally imported two copies and notice right away. As I mentioned in the video, it can’t reskin be trusted if you e already started editing photos. Thanks for your comment. Hopefully Adobe will give us the option search for duplicates using various metadata and ai in the future.

@@naturemikephoto Yes, a good idea I never thought about it for a quick check when a double upload has happened
