Will need testers.

Hello forum users!
I have been making a program to find duplicate files in a specified location. It scans the location and sub directories finding files that even if with different names are the same.

The program is written in python which im starting to learn so its not as polished as i would like it to be yet.

I will soon post it, but I would first like to know if people are interested in it or not at all....

See ya!

I'd be willing to test if I can only have your beta software scan a certain directory and only look in that directory.

This way I can just create a directory and create duplicate files to see if the software works. Couldn't you just test the software on your box by itself?

Sure I can, but I also want to know what other people think.

**Ek0nomik** · August 22nd, 2007

Fair enough.

Shoot me a PM when you have it ready.

Here is my program. I hope everyone likes it and finds it useful.

Im open to all suggestions and improvements

So you hash every file and then compare the md5sums? Clever. I like it.

I actually found a very bad flaw, i fixed it. Im gonna be uploading the new version tonight.

You can add your project to sourceforge to increase its exposure. That way you are sure to be contacted by people with feedback.

I just posted a thread with the new version. I will think about that sourceforge idea too

Have a look at Double Killer for windows. It basically the same thing.
But you can chose from:
Names
Sizes
Dates
and CRC32-Checksums.

The list at the end is cool because you can select all the first duplicates or the last ones or do it manually.
