Find Duplicate Files, Move to Folder, with Reference Directory
by ericlindellnyc from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5D3K0)
I'm trying to ..
Find duplicate files with same name/date.
Move them to other directory, with unique names (incrementing suffix).
Specify reference-only directory.
I've tried rmdup, fslint, rdfind, fdupes, but none have all options.
With dupeguru, I must visually check all filenames, as it flags dup's with different names.
Thanks for feedback.
UPDATE .. RMDUPE IS GAGGING ON .DS_Store. I displayed hidden files, but it's not there.
Code:rmdupe --sim --verbose /Users/eric/Documents/rmdupTest/PRODUCES THIS ERROR MESSAGE
Code:stat: illegal option -- c
usage: stat [-FlLnqrsx] [-f format] [-t timefmt] [file ...]
rmdupe: Error: get filesize failed on /Users/eric/Documents/rmdupTest//.DS_Store
