Hello,
thanks for the detailed description. Do you see the error without gui?
I have just tried in vain:
ametzler@argenau:~$ mkdir -p /tmp/main-folder/sub-folder{1,2}/ ; echo
"identical files" > /tmp/main-folder/sub-folder2/file-2.jpg ; echo "identical
files" > /tmp/main-folder/sub-folder2/file-2-copy.jpg ; echo different >
/tmp/main-folder/sub-folder2/file-1.jpg
ametzler@argenau:~$ dpkg -s findutils | grep Version
Version: 4.6.0+git+20170828-2
ametzler@argenau:/tmp$ /usr/share/fslint/fslint/findup /tmp/main-folder
sub-folder2/file-2-copy.jpg
sub-folder2/file-2.jpg
TIA, cu Andreas
