No, it finds exact duplicates, not similar files. With gqview you get
info like pic1.jpg is 98% similar to pic0.jpg. I have two pictures for
tests - first only with one object on clean background and the second
with the same object on colored background. Gthumb finds nothing.
I really don't see how a fuzzy match is useful in general.
I didn't realise Gthumb has a find duplicates function,
but you can use FSlint for this which is in extras.
