fclones-gui is a graphical user interface for fclones, a command line utility that identifies groups of identical files and gets rid of the file copies you no longer need.
The front-end is in an early stage of development.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Identifying groups of identical files:
- Finding duplicate files.
- Finding files with more than N replicas.
- Scanning multiple directory roots.
- Filtering names and paths by extended UNIX globs.
- Filtering by min/max file size.
- Proper handling of symlinks and hard links.
- Optional ignoring of files specified in .gitignore.
- Removing redundant data:
- Removing, moving or replacing selected files with soft or hard links.
- Removing redundant file data using native copy-on-write (reflink) support on some file systems.
- Bulk selection of files to remove.
- Prioritizing files to remove by creation, modification, last access time or nesting level.
- High performance:
- Parallel processing capability in all I/O and CPU heavy stages.
- Automatic tuning of parallelism and access strategy based on device type (SSD vs HDD).
- Low memory footprint thanks to heavily optimized path representation.
- Accurate progress reporting.
- Uses modern GTK4 list controls that can display hundreds thousands items.
