Having been so meticulous about taking back ups, I’ve perhaps not as been as careful about where I stored them, so I now have a loads of duplicate files in various places. I;ve tried various tools fdupes, czawka etc. , but none seems to do what I want… I need a tool that I can tell which folder (and subfolders) is the source of truth, and to look for anything else, anywhere else that’s a duplicate, and give me an option to move or delete. Seems simple enough, but I have found nothing that allows me to do that… Does anyone know of anything ?

    I’ll have to reinstall it to remind myself what it was, if I recall correctly it was not easy to work out what I needed to do, as I simply wanted to say scan everything for duplicates that are in the (directory hierarchy e.g. multimedia/photos/) I have deemed as being the source of truth)…
