[feature request] Alternative handlling options to deleting duplicates #172

Open fmneto opened 1 year ago

Sometimes there is a need for duplicate files to be moved away instead of deleting. Either as an extra measure against data loss or some other reason. So, instead of just deleting duplicates, this feature would create a new directory and move duplicates into it.

Alternatively, duplicate files would be replaced by hard or symbolic links.
