Duplicate Files Scan Option and Highlighting #126

Open avogelba opened 9 years ago

avogelba commented 9 years ago

Originally reported by: Anonymous

When asking to scan the drives it would be nice to do a deep scan which would scan for duplicate files. Then once the scan is complete mark the duplicate files somehow in the viewer (edge around the box perhaps).

Frankly, it kinda makes sense to have this implemented in script once integration with Lua and Python as well as SQLite3 is done. That is, once we have access to the metadata (same size etc) we have all there is to find dupes ... all that's needed from there is to do the actual comparison.

Another tool I've been involved in in the past offers to hardlink dupes, for example.

Not a priority or something to have as core functionality, though. IMO.

strongly disagree - this function is already implemented in other software (see: http://lifehacker.com/395896/de-duplicate-your-data-with-free-tools)
