Is there a way to check two directories against each other for duplicates? #532

This is not a bug or issue, but more of a question.

is there a way to use rmlint to check two directories against each other for duplicates?

use case i.e. dir 1 = music/artists/albums dir 2 = music/tracks they have not been kept in sync.

dir 1 = Organized sub-dir "Artist", sub-dir "Albums", dir 2 = Loose Tracks in no sub-dir or organized pattern.

You want to merge the tracks of dir2 to the right place in dir 1, but you want to avoid the "skip/overwrite" dialog that comes up by just moving with file manager.
