Investigate the feature sets and performance of competing tools
First and most importantly, I'll want to investigate rmlint since a brief examination of the README suggests that it's doing the same kinds of optimizations I'm doing but has had a lot more effort put into it.
Depending on how much faster rmlint is, I'll probably want to focus more on the extensibility and hackability I gain from using Python as opposed to C.
Second, I'll also want to investigate schweikh3.c
and samefile
:
<mauke> feature request: if you could make it output compatible with
http://www.ioccc.org/1998/schweikh3.hint , that would be sweet
(http://www.ioccc.org/1998/schweikh3.c)
<mauke> I don't like the way fdupes works. samefile's interface is superior
<mauke> it says if you specify a directory twice, it will list files as
their own duplicates.
<mauke> wtf was the author thinking?
<deitarion> mauke: Lazy, I guess. I believe I fixed that in fastdupes.
