## Summary:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DIRED-DUPLICATES - FIND DUPLICATE FILES ON LOCAL
AND REMOTE FILESYSTEMS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1 Description
═════════════
This Emacs package helps to find duplicate files on local and remote
filesystems. It is similar to the fdupes command-line utility but
written in Emacs Lisp and should also work on every remote filesystem
that TRAMP supports. The most common use case for this is probably
finding and deleting unneeded duplicate files.
## Recent NEWS:
1 dired-duplicates-0.4 [2024-03-28 Thu]
════════════════════════════════════════
• New feature: Inverse search. Find files that have no duplicates.
• Show checksumming progress in more detail.
• Use read-file-name instead of internal completion function.
• Use multiple prompts for directories instead of
completing-read-multiple.
• Expand and deduplicate dir names before starting comparison.
• Only compare and checksum regular files, e.g. prevent checksumming
sockets which will not work and would be useless anyway.
2 dired-duplicates-0.3 [2023-11-14 Tue]
════════════════════════════════════════

files will not abort on directories the user does not have
permissions to read like lost+found.
