Simply amazing ! I ran in a terminal:
$fdupes ./Songs > fdupes.txt It took about 3 minutes to search all the folder and created a text file named fdupes.txt, in this files there was the name of all the duplicated files. There is an option in fdupes to delete the duplicated files, so I will investigate a little more to do that. Thank you very much. I'm happy now.

It is case sensitive for one thing and sometimes users replace spaces with underscores when they work in commandline for simplify things. Also Linux will append copy_1, copy_2, etc. to the file name if it is a duplicate file name rather than replace it. However, Linux does not care about suffixes, such as .mp3. > > You have a few choices. You can use the commandline or you can install a program to weed out duplicate files.

You could use a filter in Nautilus (Search) to weed out duplicates if there is an obvious pattern such as a double space in the file name. It all depends on how you work and your willingness to leave it up to a program over doing it manually. > > Since you have so many then you probably want to go with fdupes as in the links above. > > Roy > > > > Linux: Fast, friendly, flexible and .... free! > Support Open source. > <*,)}}+< > Only dead fish go with the flow! ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
