   i started using this when i was in school. this was cool file manager+text editor it was all nice apart from the fact that if you don't understand any language apart from english then It will be difficult for you to understand it's advanced features like plugin's and all. i mainly used this for writing code.

   🏁 Competitors: there is no one who can compete with this vintage beast.

   👍 Pros:    This is very light weight file manager+code editor so even if you have old pc you can run this with full speed.|If you do competitive programming then this is for you this editor is so accurate that even sublime text fails in front of this vintage beast.|As name suggests file manger you can manage your files better than any other code editor's like clion,sublime text,visual studio code etc...|If you understand all features of far manager you will litrally get addicted to it.

   👎 Cons:    As most of the instructions are in russian or ukranian you might find it difficulty in start.|As most of the istructions for advanced features are in russian or ukranian you might find difficulty to install some plugins.

• Tools to deduplicate files

  Https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka by far the best of anything iv tried. Source: 6 months ago

• fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files

  I've used Czkawka (https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka) because it does Lanczos-based image duplicate detection, which makes it more practical for me. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• AllDup suddenly taking forever to process/delete selections

  Maybe it's a setting you made or the files, not sure. You can try another software czkawka to see if you get better results with it. Source: 7 months ago

• Is there a file duplicate finder that works with animated jpegxl-gif?

  For static images I used https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka and it works well enough. I think. But when I used it on a folder with gifs and their jxl conversions, it shows nothing. SURELY this could not be user error, rrrright? Source: 8 months ago

• PhotoPrism: Browse Your Life in Pictures

  I used to use DupeGuru which has some photo-specific dupe detection where you can fuzzy match image dupes based on content: https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/ But I switched over to czkawka, which has a better interface for comparing files, and seems to be a bit faster: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
