## Summary:

             ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
              DIRED-DUPLICATES - FIND DUPLICATE FILES ON LOCAL
                           AND REMOTE FILESYSTEMS
             ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━





  1 Description
  ═════════════

    This Emacs package helps to find duplicate files on local and remote
    filesystems.  It is similar to the fdupes command-line utility but
    written in Emacs Lisp and should also work on every remote filesystem
    that TRAMP supports.  The most common use case for this is probably
    finding and deleting unneeded duplicate files.

## Recent NEWS:

1 dired-duplicates-0.4  [2024-03-28 Thu]
════════════════════════════════════════

  • New feature: Inverse search. Find files that have no duplicates.
  • Show checksumming progress in more detail.
  • Use read-file-name instead of internal completion function.
  • Use multiple prompts for directories instead of
    completing-read-multiple.
  • Expand and deduplicate dir names before starting comparison.
  • Only compare and checksum regular files, e.g. prevent checksumming
    sockets which will not work and would be useless anyway.


2 dired-duplicates-0.3  [2023-11-14 Tue]
════════════════════════════════════════

  • Silently ignore subdirectories that cannot be read, so that finding
    files will not abort on directories the user does not have
    permissions to read like lost+found.
  • Silently ignore files that cannot be read.
  • Add NEWS.org file.


3 dired-duplicates-0.2  [2023-11-09 Thu]

    checksumming command is not available.

  • First release on GNU ELPA.
