Hi, I am the author. Thank you for the suggestion.

It is not necessary to patch the code to do what you want.
The output is generated by running a shell script (which can be viewed with -s).
By default, the function VIEW simply does 'echo "$@";'. This can be overridden by -i/-I.

So, you could accomplish your aim by something like, for example:

    findimagedupes -i 'export IFS=":"' -i 'VIEW(){ echo "$*"; }' -- *.jpg

Note that the script should correctly escape filenames even without this:

    findimagedupes -s scriptfile --- *.jpg
    more scriptfile
