When collecting Pinterest board content to Eagle, you may encounter duplicate image issues. This article will introduce two effective methods to avoid duplicate images, helping you keep your resource library organized.

Avoiding Duplicate Images from the Same Board

Eagle provides a "Scan Duplicate Documents" feature that can help you identify and handle already imported duplicate images:

Complete the Pinterest board image import
Click the "+" button in the upper left corner of the Eagle window
Select "Find Duplicated Items" from the menu
Choose "Scan All" or "Scan Current List"
Select to scan "same" or "similar" files (for Pinterest, it's recommended to choose the "similar" option, as there may be cases with different source URLs or titles)
After scanning is complete, review the results and decide which images to merge and what information to retain

Avoiding Duplicate Images from Different Boards

If you want to avoid duplicate image prompts when importing different boards, you can adjust Eagle's duplicate notification settings:

Open Eagle's "Preferences"
Search for "duplicate" or find the "General" page
Check or uncheck the "Notify me when importing duplicates" option
Save Changes

After completing the above settings, Eagle will notify/not notify duplicate items when importing or creating images according to your preferences.

Key Considerations

Using the "Scan similar images" option can more effectively discover duplicate images on Pinterest
Regular use of the scanning feature can keep your resource library organized
You can adjust duplicate notification settings according to your personal workflow
