Initial release. Basic duplication discovery of plain files/folders.

Features

  • Multi threading: The tool is able to use multiple threads to speed up the
    hash calculation process.
  • Pause and resume: The tool can be paused (killed) and resumed at any time. The
    current state is saved to disk and can be loaded later. This is useful for long
    analysis processes (large directories).
  • Cache and resume: The tool can be run at a later point reusing the cache from
    a previous run. This is useful for re-analyzing a directory after some changes
    have been made.
  • Follow or not follow symlinks: The tool can be configured to follow symlinks
    or not.
  • Hash collision robustness: The tool uses hashes to detect duplicates.
    There is a probability of hash collisions. For the final duplicate detection,
    not only the hash but also the file size and file types are compared to reduce
    the probability of false positives. When choosing a weak hash function (with many
    false duplicates), the tool may run slower.
