but hey, these other two I will address in another article 😉įor now, they already have another application to search, find and delete duplicate files on their system. With DupeGuru-se You can search for duplicate files in the system, which can save us a lot of space on the HDD, however if we want to focus on music specifically with dupeguru-we have a better option, because it searches taking into account the tags of the songs and others, similar happens to us with images, for these we have dupeguru-pe. Yes in View - »Preferences We have several options that we can play with, the way the scan is done to find duplicates, how strict is the application to determine if one file is the same as another, etc. To remove duplicates, simply from the menu Actions we choose the option that suits us best. Then it only remains to click on the button Scan and voila, it will begin to review the folders that we specify, here is a screenshot of duplicate results:

There we can add the folders that we want to be reviewed, in which repeated files will be searched, for example it can look like this: Now it only remains to execute it, it will show us the following window:

In Ubuntu you must add the PPA repository to be able to install it, here are all the commands: sudo apt-add-repository ppa: hsoft / ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dupeguru-se seems this app has a trash folder as well, so that should survive an update as well.The first thing is to install the application, ArchLinux users have it simple as it is in yaourt: To update the app, simply go to container station, select the app in your container, click the scroll wheel edit, then select recreate directly and pull the latest image (if you want to ammend some installation settings, selection recreate).īecauz earlier we set a bind mount path to a custom folder not the default, this then lets any saved settings persist after updating the app.

dupeguru just makes it convenient/easier to detect the dupes for you to save you a lot of time Or you can decide the differences are not worth the storage space and delete if you wish regardless if it's a dupe or not. this is why we have to spot check the results and not simply believe it's a dupe because it might not be. if you want to be able to delete files via the dupeguru UI, you just merely have to provide it R/O instead of R only. it can merely scan to detect for duplicates only. but since it's read only with no write, the app is unable to delete anything in my important shares. It also has special modes for music and photos to look for and display different information for both file types. Once done, click the scan button bottom right. Similar to some of the other apps on this list, when you scan your computer with dupeGuru, it not only shows you files with duplicate filename but it also checks your files to see if they’re similar in any way. you can only select based on that selection).

Within the app, click the + sign, then add the share you want to scan (this is where that previous storage location matters. to find the url look at the app in cs, the url u can copy there then insert to web browser. Once the app is running, open the url to access the app that is now running natively on your QNAP NAS. i skipped this part and just use the default which uses the nas ip with a custom port.

the standard practise is to switch to bridge mode and set a static ip. Notes: as part of the configuration for the initial setup, you can opt to change the network settings if you wish.
