RFC - Duplicate file finder features
-
I made a very nice duplicate file finding utility for myself a few months ago. Now I just wanna share it with you guys (altough I am not very sure who would ever require such a tool ! Anyone ?) However, I just want to add some more features to the basic framework. The basic engine just creates a hash table of filenames which are kind of open chained using linked list of filenames which have the same MD5/SHA/etc digest (that is, are binary equal) It currently finds out any duplicate file(s) in/on your directory/drive and deletes all but the file with the most recent timestamp. That's all I wanted, but I understand that it's the least somebody who seriously wants to use such tool would want ! So please, let me know who might want it, and what feature(s) should I add to it.... Given enough takers, I might write up a nice article to go along with the source code. In the meanwhile, keep the feature requests rolling in... Regards Subhobroto Sinha http://www.geocities.com/subhobrotosinha
