Only files of identical size can be duplicates. The program isn't content-aware. All files in a group are sorted by size already because all files in each duplicate group are the exact same size. In fact, one of the biggest speed boosts in the software is a size comparison before reading any actual files.
Okay! Nice!
When deleting files with the
norpompt
option, one could be losing the 'better quality files'. From noprompt definition:And from
orderby
:One could use the
orderby
option to order by filesize so fdupes always preserves the biggest file (the one with more quality).
