[Suggestion]Firewall Duplicate Finder #62

Open whismerhill opened 3 years ago

not a huge deal but something I thought of

an option to find duplicate rules example : opera changes its executable location each update, and therefore new rules keep getting created...

the way I see it : 0 - the program creates a list of all dupes 1 - click on some "Duplicate find" button 2 - it displays the very first occurence of a duplicate found & all associated duplicates 3 - do something about it or not 4 - click "next duplicate" 5 - the program moves down in the list of duplicates it built earlier

How to detect duplicates if the file paths keep changing? Cache the product description field of the exe's and use these to identify it being in a new location? Probably doable, wil look into it

I was thinking of a description matching, so a string compare kind of ..... even if it matches more than true duplicates, it would still be useful imho

but again no hurries, just an idea that popped up.....
