I'm searching for a duplicate file detector that works.

DFS & Singular both seem to work on small directories but on
larger ones, fail.

There's payware "Tidy-up" but as I read it; it does not use hashing.

Suggestions?

DupScan <http://www5.wind.ne.jp/miko/> is free and does the job
perfectly.

Anyone else used this? Looks good and i could use it -- but always
good to have second opinions on freeware that messes with you
system.

It's a PIA to use...but I think probably no more so than others, and perhaps
a bit easier to figure out.

It does no harm that I'm aware of.

Comfy in Terminal? If so, here's something I used to use:


#! /bin/sh

sum_file=".identity.cksums"

echo Identifying files . . .
if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then
find . -type d -follow -print
else
for i ; do
find "$i" -type d -follow -print
done
fi | while read dir; do
cksum "$dir"/* 2> /dev/null
done > $sum_file

echo Checking for duplicates . . .
cat $sum_file | cut -f 1-2 -d ' ' | sort -n | uniq -d | while read
dupsum; do
echo
grep "$dupsum" $sum_file
done
