This is an interesting idea. I thought about the idea of using an sqlite database as intermediate storage both for handling low ram situations and for debugging. But it would...

This sounds like a good idea! What do you think about something along ```sh rdfind -firstbytesize N -lastbytesize M ..... ``` The inner workings have to be modified a bit,...

Thanks for the tip! Now when even consumer level ssd's reach Gigabytes per second, this definitely makes sense.

Who would ever have 65000 identical files :-) Joke aside, sure this is a real problem. It does not seem trivial to fix. I have to think about this one....

Glad you like it! There is no such option. You can proceed two ways: - patch the code (look at https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind/blob/0fffab7dd90d4d4afea110f0a1a60313ff74f0b9/rdfind.cc#L236) to ignore files whose name don't match. - use...
