# Duplicate Finder
A simple desktop application to search for duplicate files in a specified directory. This application uses SHA-256 hashing to identify duplicates and provides a user-friendly interface with progress tracking.
## Features
- **Directory Selection**: Easily choose the directory you want to scan for duplicate files.
- **Progress Tracking**: A visual progress bar indicating the scanning progress.
- **Duplicate Detection**: Identifies files with identical content using SHA-256 hashes.
- **Cancel Scanning**: Ability to stop the scanning process at any time.
## Requirements
- **Rust**: Ensure you have the latest version of Rust installed. You can download it from [rust-lang.org](https://www.rust-lang.org/).
- **Cargo**: Cargo is the Rust package manager and is included with Rust installation.
- **Dependencies**: This application uses several external crates. They will be installed automatically with Cargo. The required crates include:
- `eframe`: For creating the graphical user interface.
- `egui`: For building responsive user interfaces.
- `rfd`: For file dialog support.
- `rayon`: For data parallelism and concurrent processing.
- `sha2`: For computing SHA-256 hashes.
- `walkdir`: For recursively walking through directories.
## Installation and Running
### Requirements
- **Rust**: Make sure you have [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) installed (you can install it via [rustup](https://rustup.rs/)).
