Description-en: GTK+ frontend to rmlint
rmlint-gui (a.k.a. Shredder) is a graphical user interface to rmlint
using GTK+. It uses rmlint to find space waste and other broken things
on your filesystem and offers to remove them.
.
It is able to find:
* Duplicate files & directories.
* Non-stripped binaries.
* Broken symlinks.
* Empty files.
* Recursive empty directories.
* Files with broken user or group ID.
.
Key Features:
* Extremely fast.
* Flexible and easy command-line options.
* Choice of several hashes for hash-based duplicate detection.
* Option for exact byte-by-byte comparison (only slightly slower).
* Numerous output options.
* Option to store time of last run; next time will only scan new files.
* Many options for original selection/prioritisation.
* Can handle very large file sets (millions of files).
