#Open source duplicate files finder code

I have been testing a number of duplicate finder apps recently, and so far DupeGuru is by far the best-for me.

#Open source duplicate files finder code

It's generally a good idea not to jump around unrelated pieces of code In this example, once I've got the order in for the big things figured out, I can get to work on the first one and come back to the others later.

You don't need to do step 4 for every subtask before you start coding. Should probably finish text buffer before UI, UI can come before searching featureĤ) Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each subtask (if necessary).Text buffers need to programmed before I can implement searching.Text editor with the ability to open multiple files at the same time, and search them (either single file or all opened files)ģ) Figure out what order this needs to be done in Took me a few years before I finally learned that lesson.ġ) Decide on what all you want the program to do. Rather than taking detailed notes of everything, comment as you write you code with what it is doing and why (shouldn't need to comment exactly what code is doing if the code is good, but it's helpful to do that when learning/writing rough code)ĮDIT) Also, getting overwhelmed in a project due to poor planning is an easy pitfall to trip into. That alongside good commenting keeps the project flowing smoothly. Before I step away from the project, I just jot down a quick description of what I was working on last and what kind of issues I might have been having in the notes file.

I usually keep a todo list and notes file alongside any project I work on. These are some that were suggested in the previous posts: Most of the posts are outdated that i found about these apps. Was wondering if anyone had any better suggestions? :) if its not MD5 values then its not really a good method. Also dupeguru does not show you a preview and i dont know what it bases its 100% match on. it takes ages to load though which i think would not be necessary right? ive seen other applications create a database of your files way quicker.

One of them is named 2015, and the other 2016.Īnd i only want the duplicates to be removed from the 2015 folder and not the 2016. My main problem is that i have two folders. I was just wondering if someone had experience with any duplicate image/files finders. Hello ive been browsing some of the posts here.
