= deduplicator

:icons: font



Find duplicate files. The duplicates are found by comparing SHA-512 hashsums.

Right now the app uses a postgresql database.



.Download

latest version: https://github.com/nils-gg/deduplicator/raw/master/out/artifacts/deduplicator_jar/deduplicator.jar[deduplicator.jar]



.Perquisites

In order to use the deduplicator you will need a working PostgreSQL installation,

with a database _filedb_ and a working database user.



Furthermore you need a JVM that can interpret java version 1.8 or newer.



== Usage

The first time you run the program, a wizard will help you to create a config file (config.properties).



.Start

[source, bash]

java -jar deduplicator.jar



== Future

* Make the app use a plaintext configuration file **(done)**

** specify default fileroot to search from **(done)**

** what kind of files should be compared (images, video, text..., all)

** DB user settings **(done)**

** should the app search for new files, or just continue to hash unhashed files from the db **(done)**

** maybe some kind of wizard to create the config file **(done)**

* Copy all unique files into a folder

** choose different naming schemes.

* Add the ability to compare files from different computers.

** copy unique files to a folder on a different computer (using SSH2)
