In the meantime, I've had help from a guy from
comp.lang.python who
tested in depth and made some interesting suggestions which were
incorporated into the code. The whole code is now also fully functional
on Windows (Python is about being cross-platform, really).
The new version is 0.10, still available at
http://www.homepages.lu/pu/fdups.html. If you happened to download 0.08
or earlier, please be advised that they are buggy. Version 0.09 is
correct, but version 0.10 has a few new options.
Comments and ideas are still welcome.
Maybe further features ;-)
Once upon a time, I heard about win32 software that was able to
compare pictures, IIRC later versions even sound files etc., to
identify duplicates even if they were not 100% identical (slighly
different pixel sizes, different data formats etc.).
This could be used to identify dupes in a larger media archive
(think pictures from your digicam, mp3/ogg collection, etc.).
Such functionality of course goes far beyond the current features
of fdups. I'm not sure if such a FOSS program already exists for
Unix-like OSs - if so I'd be interested.
