Hello list users: I'm looking for a program, possibly GUI but not necessarily, that can do: 1. Compare the contents of two directories based on file name, size, date and content (the last two should be toggleable). 2. List the identical/non-identical files and folders. 3. Can delete duplicated files from one of the directories. (I want to remove all the files from my winchester that I have on my backup discs.) I know krusader can do 1 and 2, but not 3. Can you suggest such a program for linux? Thanks in advance, IG Világbajnok árak!

There's the command-line diff3 program, but it does not handle directories, so you'd have to script that. There's kdiff3 (GUI file differencer) that also can do both two- and three-file and -directory diffs. I use kdiff3 a lot, but only in its two-file mode. I checked the "handbook" (their terminology—it uses the usual on-line KDE Help Center document reader) and it mentions the three-file and two- and three-directory options.
Thanks in advance, IG

Midnight Commander is almost GUI if used from console application, it has mouse support. It will select different files, so manual deletion is easy. http://en.opensuse.org/Midnight_Commander -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Krusader is the "KDE version" of MC. Works great for other things too. Hans E-mail Disclaimer http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hello: I am familiar with krusader. Unfortunately it's folder synchronizer is not very advanced. It can't delete duplicate files. IG Világbajnok árak!

FSlint can find duplicate files in one or multiple directories but requires requires manual selection of files to save/delete. There is no option to delete all duplicates simultaneously in one or more specified directories without manually selecting each file first. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

kdiff3. On suse 10.3 it is an rpm. In earlier releases I think it was part of the kdevelop rpm. For pairs of files, I like kompare. tkdiff is also good for this. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I'm going to check komparator and kdiff3. IG Világbajnok árak!

The unison application might be able to do what you want. I'm not sure about using it against your existing backups, but it's definitely able to handle steps 1, 2, and 3 on backups that you create using unison. - -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFHQfNlNTm8fWdRgmIRAmdfAJ4rEsFWSFthQImWm5xEBDZA81uzGgCg83rt c8FBnVbPI8s7HsOesFd2ypE= =QpZ/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Krusader, and then synchronize directories (ctrl-y) can do 1, 2 and also 3. I use it a lot. See also: http://krusader.sourceforge.net/handbook/synchronizer.html André -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
