Feature Request: Accept file lists as input. #88

rolfen commented 7 years ago

In some cases I want to compile a list of files using external tools (find, grep, whatever) and feed that to fdupes. Fdupes would then try to find duplicates only within that set. I imagine that fdupes could then be used like that, for example (I know about the -n switch, this is just an example): find -empty |fdupes I think that would be important feature, and would make fdupes much more versatile.

+1. Would be very nice to exclude .git directories and some binary data, for example.

@rolfen @igronus I wrote undupes, which will support this:
