[[File:MediaMerge-51.png|thumb|right|450px|Media Merge Tool's "Number of merges done" Results dialog and Before(top) and After(Bottom) screenshots of the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Media_List_View|Media List View]]]]
The {{man label|Merge Media}} tool can search your database for media file entries that are pointing to the same actual file and when found, they can be merged together.
* The addon will NOT find 'UNC' style paths that have been assigned to drive letters (Windows users). For example, if '''"<code>\\MyPC\d</code>"''' is assigned to the drive letter '''"<code>D:</code>"''', and files are entered each way, they will not be matched and merged.
* When merges are done, the media with the shortest pathname is kept.
** If pathnames have equal length, then the one with the lowest 'ID' is kept.
