feature request: Keepers: none

Open meoso opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

feature request to allow entering "none" in response to Keepers: forcing deletion of all duplicates.

You can just type in 1 and that deletes all duplicates except the first file (which is the sole survivor).

None would mean that it keeps none of the files, i.e. deletes all of them.

Actually, that's a feature. I saw the ability to keep none in other tools and it scared me, so I designed this so it's impossible to choose "none" without thinking.

I'm still skeptical that there's a valid reason to want to delete all copies in a duplicate-finder. (What makes it so different from deleting non-duplicate files that the feature should be in a duplicate finder rather than your file manager?)
