Fslint duplicate file, lint and cruft cleaner for Linux

FSlint is a utility to find and clean various forms of lint on a filesystem.
I.E. unwanted or problematic cruft in your files or file names.
For example, one form of lint it finds is duplicate files.
It has both GUI and command line modes.

Its in the repos of Ubuntu but I use the latest one from the site.

 

I've got fslint installed on Ubuntu 11.10 and it won't find duplicates in my Photos folder although I know that a great many exist.
Perhaps if I knew how to use it from the Command line that might help?

 

Shotwell finds dupes quite well when it comes to photos.

 

Re. Shotwell - didn't know it had that feature. Will investigate.

 

Can't find any 'duplicate finder' feature in Shotwell, could you please point me in the right direction?

 

We seem to have digressed a little. My original question was along the lines of 'Why doesn't fslint detect ANY duplicates in a folder which I know has hundreds'?
Latest version is installed.

 

When you import media into shotwell it detects dupes and removes them accordingly. As for fslint not being able to detect any dupes, I tried it a while back and on my distro it was able to detect several dupe files, check with the dev for your issue.
