gfdupes

Graphical interface for fdupes (find duplicates) command in linux

Currently the tool and install.sh have been tested on Kali >=14.04 only.

How to execute

The code is hurriedly written, and we did not take care of many things:

Every file is stored as a dictionary entry in python, with its path. Thus 2 files with same names but different paths, this case is not dealt with.
The tree structure of directories is made completely beforehand, i.e., those directories which won't even be opened by the user, have their subtrees or children within. This needs to be removed. We need to create a subtree for a directory only when the arrow besides it is clicked.
For some reason, if a filename contains spaces within it, the program does not work
As mentioned earlier, the code is hurriedly written. It is not object oriented. We did not add seperate classes for Hboxes, Vboxes, etc.
Need to test this on other distributions.
The VBox showing the tree structure is very big in size and consumes lot of redundant space on the screen. Decrease the size.
Package for debian (after all of the above are done)

Cross platform (Linux, macOS, Windows, ...) with another GUI library (maybe Kivy or PyQt)
Python 3
Fix some issues with fdupes (check if same file via inode?, if md5 hash is the same, maybe check also sha512/"diff")
Use pylint and coverage
Use github actions for code linting etc.
Provide packages (AUR, brew, ...) and/or releases
Requirements via pip freeze >requirements.txt and pip install -r requirements.txt
