Multi functional app to find duplicates, empty folders, similar images etc.

<irony> RESF checking in </irony> The first one I found and still use when it got obvious that fslint is EOL is czkawka [0] (meaning hiccup in polish). Its' speed is an order of magnitude higher than fslint, memory use is 20%-75%. <;)> Satisfied customer, would buy it again. </;)> [0] https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka.

NOTE: jdupes has been discontinued.

Greatly improved fork of the fdupes duplicate scanner, including ports to Windows and Mac OS X.

I use and test assorted duplicate finders regularly. Fdupes is the classic (going way way back) but it's really very slow, not worth using anymore. The four I know are worth trying these days (depending on data set, hardware, file arrangement and other factors, any one of these might be fastest for a specific use case) are https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes , https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind , https://github.com/jvirkki/dupd , https://github.com/sahib/rmlint Had not encountered fclones before, will give it a try.
