Package: komparator Version: 0.5-1 Severity: important Right clicking on a found duplicate file gives a context menu that includes:
Trash co-reference files Delete co-reference files I didn't understand what "co-reference" meant and looked it up in the 'khelp' docs; there was no definition: % grep -i "co-ref" -n /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/komparator/index.docbook 474:files from the co-reference folder (only in the <emphasis>Duplicate files</emphasis> tab), 558:When selecting a new file in the upper list view, the files from the co-reference folder 563:in the upper list view, that are in the co-reference folder. 565:<emphasis>Trash co-reference files</emphasis> or <emphasis>Delete co-reference files</emphasis>. Without knowing which file would be deleted, I don't dare use this program. I believe most new users would be stumped too, hence the 'important' tag. Perhaps a user could perform a trial-and-error test, and thus determine by experiment what the function does; make some dummy files, copy them do a duplicate directory, etc. An abundance of terms refer to two directories (and their sub-directories): 1 Left URL 2 Right URL 3 Reference folder (right/left?) 4 co-reference 5 the lower duplicate files list ("What's This" for 'Reference Folder') 6 the other folder The current layout displays #1 just above #2; this seems particularly confusing, and the whole opening screen is an asymmetric stack of boxes; 'komparator' isn't laid out like 'Midnight Commander' where left/right is intuitively obvious. Worse, the term 'left' seems to be used in a different sense in at least one tooltip: Trash the files selected in the list view on the left Possible term pairs come to mind, such as: Keep/Duplicate A/B first/second Original/Copy I wouldn't insist those names are better though. Finding good names for things isn't trivial. If it matters, I have used other GUIs designed to find duplicate files. For example, 'Dupeless', by N. J. Rubenking, circa 1998, distributed via PC Magazine; it runs under 'wine'. 'Dupeless' is a bit clunky, not elegant, not feature rich, nor especially confusing. Running it now, for the sake of comparison, what's striking is that it's jargon free -- one needn't learn any new terms to use it.
