Package: fslint Version: 2.42-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream I know it would be a lot of work.
BUT - It would be amazing if FSLint output duplicate information by directory. For instance, I might have two dirs, "~/Documents/linux guides" and "~/Downloads/completed torrents/linux guides torrent". Let's say there is a lot of redunandcy of file contents between these directories - perhaps they're exact duplicates, or maybe all the files in one of the dirs exists in the other, which also has some additional files. It would be immensely useful if FSLint could recognize an entire DIRECTORY as being redundant. This would speed up file cleanup operations enormously. As it stands now, this is most of what I do with FSLint, and I primarily do it with md5sum in the terminal after I see file duplicates in two directories that I know are both "sets" of files. If FSLint could highlight full directories as having their contents exist entirely in another directory, it would only take a moment to delete the redundant directory, with no additional checks necessary. I would love to see this feature!
