Fix default max size in Settings or its handling (and GUI typo) #437

Closed miskovics closed 3 years ago

miskovics commented 3 years ago

rmlint --gui does not produce any matches with default settings, it seems the call to rmlint fails:

$ rmlint --no-with-color -T duplicates --see-symlinks --hidden -c sh:handler=remove --hardlinked --crossdev --size 1-18446744073709551615 --max-depth 512 -o json -c json:oneline /
ERROR: cannot parse --size: Max is smaller than min.

Reducing Size limits in Settings from 16 Petabyte to 1 Terrabye (typo) fixed the problem.

Did you try the latest develop? This bug was supposedly fixed since some time. Please always mention what version you're using.

I used the latest official one from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS repo, this is the version today.

Well, yes, that's the old version from over a year ago. You have to either update from source or ask your distribution maintainers to update.

I fixed the typo, which is indeed still in the current version.
