filedups 1.0.0

Local file duplicate finder.

filedups

Given a sequence of paths (full directory paths), finds and groups duplicate files recursively.
Doesn't provide 100% accuracy. Reported files in a group might not be exactly the same.

Example Scan on Windows

HOW TO USE

Go to src/filedups in terminal.
Put full paths of directories you want to search in in-dirs.txt file on separate lines.
Options (M, X are the number of bytes) (default value for M is 1024000 (1000 KB), default value for X is None):
--min-file-size M
--max-file-size X

Then run main.py:
For Linux:
python3 main.py in-dirs.txt

1000 KB minimum file size:
python3 main.py in-dirs.txt --min-file-size 1024000

200 KB minimum, 2000 KB maximum file size:
python3 main.py in-dirs.txt --min-file-size 204800 --max-file-size 2048000

For Windows:
py main.py in-dirs.txt

Results will be in a text file of current working directory of command line
, which starts with filedups and contains timestamp of the scan.
