"Filter Unique Lines" removes the duplicated lines without one remaining #13

Closed guillaumealgis closed 2 years ago

From my understanding the command "Filter Unique Lines" should remove duplicated occurence of a same line, while keeping a unique occurence in the file (like the unix uniq program does).

However, the command completely removes all occurrences of a line :

There's a "Delete duplicate lines" command, please check the readme for explanation of some commands including.

Thanks. My bad, I didn't check the readme.

I still think the two commands have a confusing naming (especially when considering the that unix uniq command does what "Delete duplicate lines" does), but I have no better idea, so...

Hi, the name of the commands are not based on a Unix tool, all the extensions I've tried in multiple text editor use "Delete duplicates" so we use that.
