In internet exists a lot of tools to find duplicates, empty folders, temporary files etc. but in most cases there are only available on CLI, which is hard to use by users.
GUI FSlint allows to really easy select different files and folders, but is based on old and unsupported Python 2 and GTK 2.
Other tools are mostly written in C/C++ to provide big performance but still needs to be tested a lot if not contains memory leaks, invalid memory reads/write and double frees.
I checked prepared before directory, without any folder exceptions(I removed all directories from FSlint and Czkawka from other tabs than Include Directory) which contained 176 056 files and 22194 folders and 88436 duplicated files in 52330 groups which took 6,2 GB.
First run reads file entry and save it to cache so this step is mostly limited by disk performance, and with second run cache helps it so searching is sometimes faster(with a small amount of duplicates is even 10x faster).
- Feature proposals - proposal to change/add/delete some features
- Pull Requests - implementing by yourself a new feature or fixing bugs, but also important is code quality. You should follow the style in other parts of the program, or change it if you create it better.
Code should be clean and pretty formatted (Clippy and fmt are required in each PR).
Code should also be easy to read so please use as much simplest language as possible without magic numbers and variables with strange names, and try to write unit tests/tests if possible.
