rmlint finds more/less dupes than tool X!¶Make sure that none of the following applies to you:
Both tools might investigate a different number of files. rmlint e.g. does not
look through hidden files by default, while other tools might follow symlinks
by default. Suspicious options you should look into are:
--hidden: Disabled by default, since it might screw up .git/ and similar directories.--hardlinked: Might find larger amount files, but not more lint itself.--followlinks: Might lead rmlint to different places on the filesystem.--merge-directories: pulls in both --hidden and --hardlinked.If there's still a difference, check with another algorithm. In particular use
-ppp to enable paranoid mode. Also make sure to have -D
(--merge-directories) disabled to see the raw number of duplicate files.
Still here? Maybe talk to us on the issue tracker.
Depends. Go to to the issue tracker and open a feature request.
