Feature Request : Ignore files by size #119

Closed interstar closed 4 years ago

interstar commented 5 years ago

I love fdupes.

Very useful. Thank you.

But I'm forever printing the results, sorting them with another script to find the biggest files so I can delete those.

Today we have so many, say Javascript projects with 100 copies of standard libraries. I don't want to remove these dupes. But I do want to know when I have three copies of the same large video file in completely different places on my drive.

So what would be really useful is a feature to ignore files (both comparison and for deleting) below a certain size. Eg. fdupes --min-size 100000 to ignore any files less than 100000 bytes.

Wow! How did I only see this today? Many months later.

Thank you, it's awesome you've done this.
