duplicatesNuker Files

duplicatesNuker by p4rAn0id (2012)
==================================

Checks for duplicated Files.

Currently the check goes to the Filesize and SHA1.
The SHA1 check is very slow on big files.
On Mediafiles the Duration get compared too.

Files/Folders can get opened through doubleclick.

WARNING: You have to verify if the founded duplicates are
really duplicates! Often there are files with same filesize
but diffrent content!

You can give several folders to check the files.
E.g. C:\Users\example\files;D:\files;E:\files

The Programm will perhaps crash, if you use it on
Directorys/Files, without the needed Permissions or wrong
settings/values!

FAQ - or something else
-----------------------
Q: How the files get compared?
A: Primary through the filesize (on mediafiles also the 
   Duration). Also you can use an SHA1 check (slow on
   big files). 
Q: What is the 'Check on Foldernames'?
A: All Foldernames from given Folders get listed.
   A simple check tries to determine if a folder has 
   potential duplicates. Only folders with a Videofile
   get listed (.avi, .mpg, .mpeg, .mp4, .mkv).
   
Known Issues:
The duration-grabbing wont work when the folder is lazy
given (e.g. 'd:'). In this case the Scan runs through but
the duration can't get grabbed. Use 'd:\' instead.
	
ToDo:
 - implement settings for scans (SettingsManager)
   (e.g. limit filesize, filetypes, and others)
 - implement better comparing of files/folders
 - implement Updater
