With the help of this forum I have managed to name my images with Exiftool by their unique date and time. My problem is that I have dozens of folders with hundreds of images in each folder combined with numerous duplicate images. Often some folders are almost copies of other folders. I have tried cut & paste which then mentions about overwriting the original or not - I keep the larger image.. Perhaps there is a command line which would cut and paste and if there is a duplicate only overwrite the existing image if the new one is larger. I do not understand why but I seems to have lots of duplicate images - some at eg 2.1 Mib and then another copy at 2.0 Mib. Thank you for any advice

You might be looking for fdupes…
- Thank you for the suggestion but I did not think fdupes was able to decide to save the larger file - I assumed it would just save the first file it found -Smokeyone– Smokeyone2017-03-22 18:37:01 +00:00Commented Mar 22, 2017 at 18:37
- It, actually, looks at the file contents and if they're identical, deletes one. More info is available at the link.Shelby Kira Marvell– Shelby Kira Marvell2017-03-22 21:04:01 +00:00Commented Mar 22, 2017 at 21:04
