why have you closed this ticket ?

Github is used for development. If you need additional software, package them and submit the to unofficial addons.

ok thx for info

sraue commented 10 years ago

please tell us on such requests why you need this and whats your usecase. we dont integrate tools which are not commonly used in the core OS, but we could accept such packages as addons. if such a package is needed in the core OS we must know for what.

i find it usefull (both programs) for managing my downloads. since i can have tons of mp3's i can scan my hdd for duplicate files. sometimes you may download exactly same content with just name changed.

with detox i change spaces with underscore and lowercase letters. this is usefull since linux shell does not like spaces in file/directory names. i did ran that in cron.

this is just a suggestion and it is not a must for me.

it sounds like its more usefull as an addon, if you are not able to create such addon and send a PR to our addon repo ask first for help in our forum if anyone can help, if not maybe in our IRC channel.

luqasz commented 10 years ago

ok thx for info. i will ask

stefansaraev commented 10 years ago

fdupes added to unofficial. detox is PITA to compile (due to bison/flex stupidity)
