    Re: Log of skipped files?

    You can just do a "diff" on each directory.

    Consider using rsync in the future.
  4. Re: compare files and delete the older ones

    So if I understand you correctly, you have a directory with files such as:



    A156.0.1.doc.tar.gz
    A156.0.1.pdf.tar.gz

    A156.0.1.xlc.tar.gz
    A156.0.1.img.tar.gz...

    [ubuntu] Re: Deja-Dup Restoring Files

    To each his own... I do not use the deja-dup gui much. Poking around a little more it seems like you can revert the parent folder that contained the 'missing' file to a particular date. That would...

  16. Re: Sorting Out Folders and Duplications

    There is a nifty tool called FSLint. It will handle deduplicating as well as file name clashes.

    Alternatively, you write a script that hashes the files, pipe it through sort/uniq for deduping. ...
  17. [ubuntu] Re: How Do You Capitalise The First Letter Of Every Word In A Directory Va Terminal?

    Yes, the command is "rename". It uses regex (perlexpr). If you're unsure of your expression use the -n to test the command before doing any renaming.
