Dedupe Entries uses SHA256 hashes to identify and take action on duplicate files.
## Installation
### Compile and link
- Setup the GTK 4 development environment.
- Make sure openssl v3 or greater is installed.
- Download the the c source, logo.xml, and header files.
- Compile in-line logo.xml to a C string.
> `` glib-compile-resources --generate-header logo.xml ``
>
> `` glib-compile-resources --generate-source logo.xml ``
- Compile C programs and link.
> ``gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk4` -o dedupee lib.c main.c get_folders.c load_entry_data.c traverse.c get_hash.c get_results.c show_columns.c install_property.c work_selected.c see_entry_data.c view_file.c sort_columns.c filter_columns.c work_trash.c work_options.c -lcrypto `pkg-config --libs gtk4` ``
## Usage
### Simple Flow Example
- Start the application with the icon or from the command line.
- Click the get button to select a directory. You can select multiple directories.
- Dedup will traverse the directory(s) selected, hashing the regular files it finds, and then present the results in the left column. The right column has the name. Possible result values:
- Empty: The file is empty.
- Error [...]: There was an error accessing the directory entry.
- 7 Digit Number: The group number - all files with the same group number are duplicates, e.g., have the same SHA256 hash.
- Unique: No file in the selected folder(s) shares the same hash.
- Select the presented entries for an action with a CTRL + Left click or Shift + Left click on the row. Multiple entries can be selected.
- Right-click to bring up the action screen. The action screen choices vary depending on whether just one or more than one entries were selected. The actions are:
- Trash: Move the file to the trash. Available if single or multiple entries selected.
- View: View the file in ASCII Dump format. Available if a single file is selected.
- Launch: Pass a selected file name to an application. Available if a single entry is selected.
- Copy to Clipboard: Copies the name of the entries to the clipboard. Available if a a single or multiple entries are selected.
