DupllicateFinder - a cli Python utility which finds duplicate files by sha256sum

This tool is in early stages of development

Libraries currently used:

• File and directory traversal: (Python3/Lib/os)
• File hashing: (Python3/Lib/hashlib)
• JSON output: (Python3/Lib/json)

Goals:

• PyQT5 GUI Bindings (pyqt5)
• SQLite Database Storage (Python3/Lib/sqlite3/)
• JSON as Temp Cache Data (refactor on using Python3/Lib/json)
• Regular Expression search capabilities (Python3/Lib/re)

Dependencies

python3 - for the cli, library, and GUI
python3-pyqt5 - for the GUI framework
qtwayland5 - (edge-case) for older wayland environments
multasker - for processing and logging

CLI Usage

python3 run-cli.py /mnt/d/Code Code.db
