### Similar Images
It is a tool for finding similar images that differ e.g. in watermark, size etc.
The tool first collects images with specific extensions that can be checked - `[".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".bmp", ".tiff", ".pnm", ".tga", ".ff", ".gif"]`.

Next cached data are loaded from file to prevent hashing twice same file.
Automatically cache which points to non existing data is deleted.
Then a perceptual hash is created for each image which isn't availavle in cache.

For now Czkawka store few config and cache files on disk:
- `czkawka_gui_config.txt` - stores configuration of GUI which may be loaded at startup
- `cache_similar_image.txt` - stores cache data and hashes which may be used later without needing to compute image hash again - editing this file may cause app crashes.
- `cache_broken_files.txt` - stores cache data of broken files
