Matchwell(TM) by The Picture Org
Finds duplicate photos, keeps the best copy of each, and merges the other copies' keywords, captions, ratings
and other details into it.

Two ways to use it, one license for both:
  - The Matchwell app (Windows and Mac): opens in your web browser, no Lightroom needed. It moves the extra
    copies to a holding folder ("Matchwell holding"); nothing is deleted.
      Windows: Start menu > Matchwell.   Mac: Applications > ThePictureOrg > Matchwell.
  - The Lightroom Classic plug-in: Library > Plug-in Extras > Find duplicate photos. The merge happens in the
    catalog; the extra copies are flagged as rejected and get the keyword Matchwell > Duplicate (never
    exported), so you can look them over and then use Photo > Delete Rejected Photos if you want.

Nothing is changed until you have checked the groups and clicked Merge. Every run can be undone
(app: Undo this run, or Menu > Undo an earlier run; Lightroom: Library > Plug-in Extras > Undo a Matchwell merge).

Installing: run the Setup program (Windows) or "Install Matchwell" (Mac). To install the plug-in by hand, quit
Lightroom Classic, copy the PictureOrgMatchwell.lrplugin folder somewhere safe and add it in File > Plug-in Manager.
