Change the terms 'remove' and 'eliminate' to 'skip' (avoid confusion with candidate list)

Open cfgnunes opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Regarding the status messages of the execution of rdfind, the terms “remove” and “eliminate”, when referring to the candidate list, can be confused with remove/delete files in the disk.

I my humble opinion, I think the messages must be simple and avoid confusion. Please consider changing the expressions “remove” and “eliminate” to “skip”.

Examples:

“Removed 100 files due to unique sizes from list. 200 files left.” to “Skipped 100 files due to unique sizes. 200 files left.”

and

“Now eliminating candidates based on first bytes: removed 100 files from list. 200 files left.” to “Now skipping candidates based on first bytes: skipped 100 files. 200 files left.”

In this case, the new messages are simple and readable for everyone (including non-programmers).

Best regards.
