#16 Recursive search for duplicates

[Anonymous]

Hi, my mac is still in the mail, so I haven't tried
your software yet, but I have been using gqView under
debian linux, and it has a wonderful feature that you
do not say that EOS has. In the context menu for
folders are "find duplicates" and "find duplicates
recursive" items. The resulting window has several
options for deciding what is a duplicate, including
same filename, same checksum, and by visual similarity.
I get much use out of this feature, unfortunately, I
am still learning my first language (java) so I can't
help yet. In my experience the visual similarity
checker is good, but the checksum method is much
faster, and all it appears to lose is images that have
been re-sized (ie it only finds true same file contents
matches).

Maybe their code can be appropriated. Anyway, thanks
in advance for this program.
