• 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

• A duplicate file finder with GUI written using gtk4-rs and relm4

  Nice, looks very clean. Are you aware of czkawka? That's a fairly advanced duplicate finder, also written in rust and also using gtk4: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka. Source: 11 months ago

• Looking for software that will find duplicate photos in multiple locations and move or copy to a new location

  Https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka (polish for “Hiccup” if you need help remembering the name, which was scientifically designed to be as oppositional to the American memory as possible lmao). Source: 11 months ago

• Using hash to compare files

  On the topic of file deduplication, the is Czkawka, a program made by a fellow Pole that I have used couple of times. Even if you want to continue with your project, you can get some inspiration on how they did that. Source: 11 months ago

• Google Photos "free up space" feature

  I am using photoprism on my k3s. It scales well so far and I have just uploaded only 10% of google photos so far. I plan to use project like https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka to eliminate duplicate photos to free up ssd storage. I also use that with longhorn project for volume replicas and backup for HA and DR situations. Source: 11 months ago

• Can anyone recommend some REALLY good deduplication software? Willing to pay for quality!

  Czkawaka works great and you don't need to pay for it, it's free and open-source. Source: 11 months ago

• Use `dano` to find duplicate media files

  I can also recommend Czkawka: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka. Source: 11 months ago

• Diff tool for medias

  I know czkawka is also good, and it seems like it might have an easier UI. Source: 11 months ago

• I made a simple tool to help with organizing duplicate files

  Not trying to take away from the work you've done but have you heard of rom managers? You provide it with a dat file from redump/no-intro and it'll help organize your collection. Looking for duplicates just based on similar filenames is risky for anything other than roms which can easily be found again. Czkawka is a good option for searching for duplicates based on the hash of the file. Source: 11 months ago

• This Week in Self-Hosted (12 May 2023)

  This week's newsletter includes a variety of new self-hosted software, community content (some generated by this subreddit!), and an application spotlight on Czkawka - a tool for managing various unnecessary file types (duplicates, large files, broken links, etc.). Source: 12 months ago

• Is there any chance I can install Photoprism on my NUC?

  Or you might also be interested in https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka to find duplicates. Source: 12 months ago

• Indexation of images with date in filename + how are duplicates handled

  Rather than using a hash, which is prone to fail if an image changes even slightly (due to compression, metadata change, etc.), would it be feasible to use a more robust de-duplication system, similar to what can be found in czkawka? Https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka. Source: 12 months ago

• What is the Best Data Hoarding Software?

  Czkawka: Multi functional app to find duplicates, empty folders, similar images etc. Source: 12 months ago

• What are your programs missing from the official Fedora repos?

  Czkawka, dupeguru, and/or detwinner... If I had to pick just one then detwinner (and yes I know 2 of those are available on flathub... again, I'm lazy. And I prefer native over flatpak when possible). Funny enough: I still prefer fslint to all of these... Wish it was still alive. Source: 12 months ago
