finding duplicates

[zoran]

which is the best app so that one can find duplicate files and also to have the ability to see previews to be able to compare?

"Find Duplicate Files for Mac OS X", only one www search away. It has a 7 days trial.

I have used it and it even found triplicates of my files and I could properly delete the du-/triplicates with that program. Maybe you can find pics via image search engine?

Here is another find:

ok let me ask another question, is it wise to use the duplicate finder app to search in the TM backup too or will it mess it up and create problems to it?
