🌟 About Duplix

Duplix is a privacy-first, ultra-fast desktop application designed to help you manage your ever-growing image collections. Built with a highly optimized Rust backend and a beautiful, responsive SvelteKit frontend, Duplix makes organizing your photos a breeze.

Core Features:

• 🔍 Duplicate Finder: Scan massive directories to find exact (bit-for-bit) and similar images using perceptual hashing. Adjust similarity thresholds, auto-delete exact matches, and quickly free up storage space.
• 🏷️ Categorizer: Rapidly sort unsorted images into specific folders using customizable categories and keyboard hotkeys. Perfect for organizing large photo dumps.
• ✂️ Quick Crop: Streamlined, high-speed cropping. Use the "Crop like last" feature to rapidly batch-crop hundreds of images to the exact same dimensions without touching your mouse.
• 🌍 Bilingual: Full support for English and German out of the box.

💻 How to Build from Source

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

1. Node.js (v18+) and npm
2. Rust (rustup, cargo)
3. Tauri CLI Dependencies (Follow the official Tauri prerequisites guide for your OS, such as C++ build tools on Windows).

Installation Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/duplix.git
   cd duplix

2. Install Node dependencies:

   npm install

3. Run the app in Development Mode: This will spin up the Vite dev server and the Tauri Rust backend simultaneously.

   npm run tauri dev

4. Build the Production Application: This command compiles the SvelteKit frontend and bundles the Rust backend into a standalone native executable for your OS (.exe, .app, or .deb).

   npm run tauri build

   The built executables will be located in the src-tauri/target/release/bundle/ directory.
