Bug Description

Does not find duplicate text files. Otherwise, a very nice program!

Steps to reproduce: Make a small text file, copy it, run czkawka on the folder. It doesn't identify the duplicated file. However, it works as expected with a copy of a binary file (I tried with jpg and so file).

test.txt test (copy 1).txt

System

Please check the value of minimal-file-size.

CLI:

 -m, --minimal-file-size <MINIMAL_FILE_SIZE>
          Minimum size of checked files in bytes, assigning bigger value may speed up searching

          [default: 8192]
