In 2021, I mashed together this quick utility, a very simple gui front-end to fdupes because I needed to clean up a bunch of documents. It was also an experiment in trying out Flutter Desktop.
Last year I released it to the public on github, more as an educational tool for people wanting to see some flutter desktop app source. Because these days, I’m force to work on macOS, I also released a mac version of an app for the first time in my life. 😳
Turns out, there is 1 other person in the world, who used my app. He noticed the app wouldn’t find the fdupes exec if it was launched from the gui. It was a known shortcoming, but this bug report triggered me to make a better effort. 😉
In v0.2.1, when the exec is not found, you can locate it manually. The location is stored so that subsequent launches automatically use fdupes from the specified location.
Available for linux and macOS, windows might follow.
