#linux find duplicate files

[cerulity]

Physical media seems to be making a resurgence. While I won't use full-on CDs, I'm finding it much more fruitful to use localised content instead of streaming services. I have an entire folder of BPM-sorted music that I will just go through. Today I learnt Bash to make a really simple shuffler.

This is all that's needed to shuffle a playlist. A playlist is a file that just has a list of file names.

I think Linux's environment is perfect for this. For one, Bash supports wildcards, so you can do "directory/*" to add all files in that directory to the playlist. The cat command also allows you to pass multiple files, so you can merge multiple playlists together just by passing them as arguments. Symbolic (or even hard) links mean you can have a directory of files for a collection without taking up any extra space because of duplicates. Lastly, a more cosmetic feature, unlike Windows, which discerns file types based on extension, Linux (and Linux programs) discern file types based on content, so you don't even need an extension on your files for this to work.

Other than that, I think this solution is also good all-around because you control everything. You aren't limited to what the streaming service provides. You can support the artists on Bandcamp to get .flac files, which are generally the highest quality kinds of files you can get, it doesn't need any internet, and it's completely free (barring audio acquisition). I might work on a local audio player for mobile. One probably already exists, but I'd like to take a stab at it.

After I deleted a bunch of projects (thankfully non-critical, though representing a great deal of work in total) during a recent fresh OS install, I realized that my backup practices are practically non-existent. Any tips or sources on getting started making, and eventually automating, effective backups?

I am stealing the concept here from jwz's backup guide, but I am recommending different tools, focusing on personal files only, and also addressing Windows. jwz's guide is a good reference:

Doing a way, way better job than most people of backing up one single system is very easy. Let us begin.

The most basic step of having decent backups is getting your hands on two external hard drives at least big enough to hold your entire system, and putting a label on them that says "BACKUP ONLY DO NOT USE FOR ANYTHING ELSE I AM BEING FOR REAL HERE"

Once you've got those, plug one into your system wherever it spends the most time. If you have a desktop then that's solved, if it's a laptop hopefully you already have a USB hub you plug it into when you sit down to work or whatever and you can just leave it there.

Now set up regular scheduled backups to that device. On Windows and Mac, there's a built in tool for backing up your system to an external drive. We'll assume that you just want to back up your user files on Windows and Linux, since doing full system backups isn't tricky but is kind of unnecessary.

(Ugh. Windows seems to be trying to phase out Windows Backup and Restore in favour of their File History thing. That's annoying, let me log in to windows and check how this actually works. Mac in the meantime)

Mac has Time Machine. Time Machine is extremely good, and you can tell Time Machine to save its backups to a disk. Point Time Machine at your external hard drive and tell it to schedule a backup however frequently you want. If anything goes wrong in the future, you can ask Time Machine to look at that backup disk and it'll show you a few versions of whatever you backed up there. I'm not a Mac user but I think you can even use Time Machine to transfer between an old computer and a new one.

Windows now has File History which I have never used in my life, they added it after I stopped using Windows. Same idea though, pick some folders and back them up to an external storage device. If anything goes wrong, use File History to go back through that device and find the version of the file you wanted. I don't know if there's still a way to access the older Backup and Restore system.

On Linux, my favoured way to manage simple desktop backups is Deja Dup, a GUI for Duplicity. Duplicity can do a lot more than just backup to a disk, but we'll start there. Install Deja Dup, open it up, and follow the prompts to back up your user files to the external drive. Deja Dup can also do backups to remote storage servers, Google Drive/Onedrive, and commercial storage providers like Amazon and Backblaze. It will even encrypt your backups if you are worried about Amazon spying on your files or whatever. If something goes wrong, point Deja Dup at your backup drive and it will offer you a suite of restore options covering a few versions.

Now, you have a permanently plugged in hard drive that will always get rolling backups you can restore from. These aren't safe from, say, ransomware, or your house burning down, but at least you won't lose anything when you update a computer or accidentally delete something and have an ohshit moment.

Now you take that other drive you bought, and do the same backup you're already doing to that. Now you go put it somewhere else where it's readily accessible and won't be accidentally used for anything, keep it at the office, give it to your dad, whatever. Set a reminder on your phone for once a month. Once a month, go get that drive, run another backup, and put it back. You now have better backups than many medium sized businesses.

This is impractical to scale beyond one PC, but if we're being honest even when I had like half a dozen laptops, only one contained much of value. Back up the system you care about.

Don't worry too much about making sure your backups are space efficient, like, yeah it would be a good idea to exclude game installs and stuff from your backups to save space but if that sounds daunting or time consuming literally do not do it. Decision paralysis is brain poison, just back it up and sort it out later. 2TB external hard drives are cheap.

FURTHER STEPS YOU CAN TAKE:

Easy Cloud backup: Backblaze personal backup on Windows and Mac is $6/month and pretty easy to use. If you are struggling to keep track of a monthly remote backup, or you want an easy remote backup. Backblaze is a reasonably reliable company and one of the Go To Companies in the world of data reliability. Yes, it's a cloud subscription. If you don't want that don't use it.

Network backup: If you have access to a storage server, that can be a good way to make a remote backup without having to shuttle disks around. That could be a physical server if you maintain some kind of lab, or it could be a cloud storage provider like Backblaze B2 or Onedrive or whatever. Deja Dup specifically supports backing up to a lot of different network storage providers, and even if you only have a fifty or sixty gigabytes of network storage on hand, your most essential personal files can probably fit in there.

Drive failures: Eventually one of your drives will fail, either your storage drive or your backup drive. If the storage drive fails, well, that's what the backup is for, go get a replacement and restore from the backup. If your backup drive fails, well, that's why you have two of them. As soon as humanly possible go get a replacement drive, and substitute it in for the dead one.

Version 623

windows

zip

exe

macOS

app

linux

tar.zst

I had an ok week. I fixed some bugs and the 'A and B are visual duplicates' test is available for everyone in the duplicate filter.

full changelog

highlights

A user has submitted a significant new darkmode stylesheet, 'Paper_Dark', which you can find under options->styles. It has assets and will change the appearance of common widgets like checkboxes.

I recently improved how some PNGs render their colours. The process I wrote was eating a lot of memory on large files, which I fix today. It still runs a little slow, but I'm close to figuring out a nicer solution.

The 'A and B are visual duplicates' test last week went well. Thank you to those who found and submitted pairs it was failing at. I have improved the algorithm's precision and stated confidence, and it is now turned on for all users. In the duplicate filter, you will now see statements like 'definitely visual duplicates'. You can generally trust them, but if you find a pair that is completely different to what it predicts, particularly if it is highly confident they are visual duplicates when they are not, I'd love to see them!

future build

Only for advanced users!

I am making another future build this week. This is a special build with new libraries that I would like advanced users (and this week particularly Win 10 users) to test out so I know they are safe to fold into the normal release. More info in the post here:

next week

I would like to get 'A and B are visual duplicates' working in the duplicates auto-resolution system. This test needs extra CPU, so I'm going to have to adjust some preview UI to handle the per-pair delay better. I feel generally good about it, and I hope we'll be able to auto-resolve a lot of non-pixel-perfect dupes very soon.

Just as a general note, I'm taking my summer vacation week on June 4th, so two more releases before then.

Community Challenge: Help me refresh my RSS feeds

Ok. Here’s the deal. I’ve decided it’s high time I completely rebuild my RSS feeds to improve my sources for information, and I’d love some help. I used to follow a number of older, formerly reliable sites for tech and other news, but I’ve noted the steep increase in promoted goods, advertorials, listicles, and other junk gumming up my NetNewsWire feed. As such, l’ve become less interested in scanning for interesting tidbits of late.

The goal is not only to update my feeds and improve the quality of my incoming information, but to share it with whomever has like interests or would like a pre-curated base to start from. The first version is linked at the bottom of this post, and I’ll be posting updates periodically as I make suggested changes.

To facilitate this I’ve setup a new file to build out this new collection of sources, imported my current OPML, and have trimmed out what I think are the biggest contributors to fluff in my current file. Sadly, this culling has left certain categories a tad light. I’m attaching my XML export to this post (see the last line) and asking for ideas. The following is a list of my existing categories:

Animation (with a particular focus on anime, but I’m into all animation)

Apple (current and retro, which is pretty much all of it, I guess…)

Automotive (mostly petrol vehicles, rally, touring car, but all is good)

Bloggers (preferably in the categories listed here)

Film & TV (I love scifi, but I’m good with most everything except drama and mobster)

Linux it seems harder to find good sources that are regularly updated)

News & Politics (I’m a progressive humanist, but need unbiased sources. I know, big ask)

Technology (mostly computers, but I’m wide open. I adore small gadgets, though)

Video Games (I’m a handheld emulator gamer, Steam user of nigh 20 years, and Nintendo head)

Vintage Computing (mostly Apple and ThinkPads, but I’m interested in all retro gear)

Writing (I am, after all, a writer…)

Below is a recent screenshot of my Feedbin Unread page:

I have a framework that I am applying to myself and ask those pitching in to consider:

No Al or crypto centric content. I recognize that technology news covers Al and that crypto is “popular” which is fine, but I don’t want any sources that focus on them.

The source needs to either have direct support for RSS or, if not, l’d like it if you provided a scraper source. If I can’t import it into my reader, I’ll be a lot less inclined to read it.

I’m not a programmer so nothing programming specific, but I love technical stuff about chips, architectures, and other like frameworks.

I’m open to taking suggestions for new categories, so feel free to drop your ideas on me.

I’m also open to debating everything and I have an open mind so will consider the removal or inclusion of just about anything. So, don’t be shy or presume I’ll not like something. I may be judgmental about things, but not people.

Avoid duplication of stories. I know that this is nigh impossible with certain categories, but I’m going to at least try.

This a going to be a public OPML, so I won’t be including anything that would be on your typical list of ��things not allowed”. I don’t think I need to list them out for you to get what I mean.

I think that’s pretty much it. I’ll likely edit this post over time as internet reality shifts like the sands of a desert, but this is a good place to start. Then someone recently told me something that struck me…

Ignore what you hate and direct your energy toward celebrating the things you love.

While they were speaking about my media-related posting, I think it applies to life in general. I am not willing to give up on the news that is important and I need to be a part of redirecting America towards a better future for all human life, but maybe I also need to start being positive and talk about the things I like, love, and appreciate.

As for participating, you can comment here, on the Mastodon post, or on the Bluesky post, to which I will add links for after I’ve published this first post. I’ll do my best to keep track of it all and be responsive.

Download the XML file for import into a feed reader here. This is version 0.1 from April 14th, 2025.

Debian 12 xfce ~~~~ let's go~~~~~

I complained about debian not having wifi drivers upon live cd boot, apparently that was by design for the older versions as (i think?) device drivers like that might be proprietary and non-free. and debian ships usually free and open source packages....

so that was by design~~ they changed it I think in debian 12, which I'm late to finding lol.

I missed the transparency thing xfce does sometimes~~~ I like xfce's compositor~~ and for some reason I don't like KDE when I tried it before and hadn't tried it since~~

could've tried it but just jumped on xfce desktop with debian 12, especially cause I've come to like thunar file manager over dolphin (? was that kde's?)

just got it up and running~~ tho I forget (or don't know) how to update the system yet.... mint has an update manager, or it's a cinnamon desktop thing..... idk.... tho I'm guessing "sudo apt-get update"

I like the splash screen and grub menu~~~ and (not that linux mint debian was unstable cause it wasn't~~) I hope debian is really stable~~ ot that's what I read anyway~~

and my function keys still work, lol. unlike upon fresh windows install~~

and I can still access the other hard drive~~ but for some reason upon unmounting it it says that there's still something going on or data is being written to it, but then it seems to unmount fine anyway~~ so I hope nothing is going wrong already~~ lol

continually talking about linux cause I got nowhere else to~~ lol sorry for cluttering up the tags if they aren't correct at all~~

now to install vlc and stuff lol~~ and hopefully find more xfce-4 themes so I can get it looking like windows 95 lol

or what's a better desktop environment than xfce? I tried lxde and it's supposedly not getting updated anymore so better to try lxqt in that case? it's newer.... Cinnamon is nice but got bored of it w mint, kde I didn't like back when I tried it a decade ago and hadn't touched it since.... hadn't messed w GNOME either in a long while either tho, I miss the sidebar and quick access to workspaces but didn't like it for other reasons too... or maybe it wasn't as customizeable..... or I didn't know how.....

currently rocking debian 12 as the title suggests w xfce desktop environment~~~ but could maybe switch to lxqt ~~~ but idk how to wipe all components from xfce and install lxqt...

and I don't like having more than one desktop environment installed cause that leads to duplicate apps

*side glances at how many terminal emulators are here anyway*

which do I choose? there are so many~~~ but lately I like xfce~~~ and might give lxqt a shot~~~ idk.....

there are so many and I already have a hard time choosing anyway lol

also just realized that the installer didn't ask for a root password so i have to "sudo" every single time cause I can't run as root directly.

and for some reason my username didn't capitalize so I tried to log into the system and it said the password was incorrect, I knew the password was correct, I made the first letter of my username small and i was in~~~

wtf~~~ did it lowercase it in the installer and I didn't realize it? is this what happened before when I tried to install debian years ago? I just reinstalled mint like an idiot instead of trying things T_T;;

tho I still consider myself a newbie cause arch, opensuse, slackware and others like that scare me ~~~ but they'd get me to learn~~ I just don't know enough to use them yet.

which begs the question, should I be running debian anyway? or should I just go back to mint?p

second guessing myself after a SUCCESSFUL INSTALL~~~~~ rip. but I like what I got going..... and cinnamon was getting boring lol

tldr: I'm taking tumblr on the linux journey with me~~~ :) hopefully typing about it into the void will help me be less anxious about trying stuff and potentially breaking my system~~ lol cause ya can always install a system that you know works~~ if something breaks.

happy to be running the grandpa of a whole bunch of linux distributions :)

hopefully I'm smarter than I think and this'll be fine~~~ worry I'll break stuff constantly~~~~ and I really don't like not knowing what I'm doing cause I feel stupid but that's how you learn to begin with, isn't it?

How To Find Duplicate Files And Clean Them On Linux With FSlint

[ganondork123]

Switched from Windows to Linux about a year ago. My old Windows install somehow corrupted itself, so now I'm backing up all my old personal files in preparation for wiping the drive. This Windows install was originally migrated from a failing HDD to an SSD, which reportedly has a bad sector. Another HDD also started failing on me a few months back that i had to backup and transfer to a new SSD. I have an SD card in my phone that I've had for over a decade now, collecting my past 5 phones' worth of photos and other miscellaneous files. I noticed some of them have started corrupting recently as well, so this SD card is likely on its way out too. Really makes me think about how temporary all this stuff is. Digital data is touted as being immune to degradation, but it's only has as much integrity as the medium it's stored on. It may be able to be duplicated endlessly, but unless you keep up with it, entropy still finds a way to destroy digital data. Entropy is the most depressing aspect of existence. Nothing lasts forever. Everything, despite our efforts, will be dust in the wind some day. I hate the constant march of time. It's scary, depressing, and stressful.

Best SEO Tools for Bloggers Looking to Increase Traffic

Maintaining a blog is a significant endeavor. The days of being able to log in and write on whatever topic you wanted to are long gone. These days, staying ahead of the competition requires in-depth research and constant plan optimization.

Thankfully, you're not by yourself. You might do site audits, study the competition, conduct keyword research, and much more with the help of many tools. You may go back to the top of the search engine results page or recover a lost rank with any of the techniques listed below. The top 5 SEO tools for bloggers are listed below.

Yoast SEO

Pro bloggers using WordPress all across the world vouch for Yoast SEO. This multifunctional tool operates as a quick and free WordPress plug-in to evaluate and make recommendations for enhancements to each post and page on your website. It also provides real-time support when you upload new material. Are you using overly lengthy or short titles? Yoast will notify you. Is keyword density very aggressive? It will be detected by Yoast before you press the publish button.

The ability to optimize your SEO approach to the tiniest detail is the main advantage of utilizing Yoast. The tool offers suggestions for improvements that might elevate your SEO writing while maintaining a close eye on readability. It's hard enough to come up with keyword and content strategies, so why should you have trouble pushing material live?

Yoast SEO not only has per-post functionality, but it also keeps an eye out for site-wide problems that might hurt your SEO rank. Duplicate content and breadcrumb errors have been mostly eradicated. Even if you're not an expert on robots.txt files, sitemaps, or permalink URL best practices, Yoast can guide you through their world. This is due to their ability to offer direction without becoming unduly technical.

The greatest all-around tool for enhancing the SEO of your site is Yoast SEO. You almost can't live without it when you include features like site modifications, search previews, and keyword optimization, but the writing insights alone make it worthwhile.

2. Netpeak Spider

And what about the content that is already on your website? Many SEO tools focus on backlinks, keywords, organic search results, and link-building opportunities. You could be surprised at the number of issues with your website that you were unaware of.

This is when the use of Netpeak Spider is necessary. It searches the URLs on your website, much like a search engine robot, and thoroughly audits any SEO issues it finds. Based on the level of SEO severity, the problems are divided into three categories: errors, warnings, and notices. This makes it clear which issues need to be addressed immediately.

In addition to looking for broken links, duplicate content, canonical problems, missing titles and descriptions, links with incorrect URL formats, dead-end pages, pages prohibited by the X-Robots-Tag, and many other issues, the Spider also analyzes incoming and outgoing internal links on websites.

You have the option to store or export your data, so you can work on it later. You may choose to have your entire website crawled, just a certain page, or use custom rules to scan only a portion of your site.

Currently only compatible with Windows, Netpeak Spider is a desktop program that will soon be accessible on Linux and macOS as well.

3. Majestic

A versatile backlink checker, site explorer, and all-around link profiler are all included in the Majestic SEO toolbox. Majestic acts as a kind of spy on the backlink profiles of your competitors, in addition to providing you with information about your own blog's statistics. What better way to advance than to imitate and elevate your peers, after all?

Majestic offers an extensive toolbox that includes various tools such as flow measurements, domain comparisons, keyword checkers, and a site explorer. For the most part, this is very ordinary stuff in terms of SEO services. Majestic's superior link analysis is where it truly shines. The website has indexed about 500,000,000,000 distinct URLs and has historical information dating back to 2013. Few, if any, rival programs

can accomplish what this one does: check and trace the backlink history of any given domain.

4. Cognitive SEO

You most likely already know about cognitive SEO and that it provides an advanced, all-inclusive SEO toolset that is built in Europe if you work as an SEO professional, webmaster, or digital marketer. The outcomes are worth the work, even though there is a severe learning curve.

It provides you with advanced tracking and analysis tools, suggestions for improvements, and explanations, all packaged into a clear interface with interactive charts. The creators of the application promise that you will get top ranks in three easy steps: keyword research, ranking analysis, and content enhancement.

complex site audits for both your site and your competitors

easy to comprehend and visualize data, along with recommendations on how to fix the issues on your site

check for broken links both internal and external

keyword and content optimization; the tool analyzes all your site’s pages and posts and provides you with a content performance score based on keywords and also a readability score

in-depth backlinks analysis

detect unnatural links that led to Google penalties

desktop, mobile, and local rank tracking for all locations and languages

analyze content visibility based on social shares

check Google algorithm changes: CognitiveSEO tracks how Google rankings fluctuate daily and provides you with an illustrative chart where you can see when there were significant changes made in SERPs. If you suddenly notice a significant drop for one of your pages, you can check their chart to see if it corresponds with a change in Google’s algorithms.

track Google Analytics metrics directly from the Cognitive SEO interface

schedule reports to be sent automatically to your clients

Competitor Analysis: uncover the Google visibility of your competition as well as understand their marketing strategies: link building, content marketing strategy, and many more

They also offer free, limited use of 3 of their SEO tools: Site Explorer, Keyword Tool, and Google Algorithm Changes.

5. Readability Test Tool

Backlinks and keyword density are two of the most talked-about topics in search engine optimization. In the end, though, what matters most is whether or not readers find your work interesting and instructive. By emphasizing readability—making your content as legible as possible—you may increase the number of people who visit your website, both domestically and internationally, and attract a wider audience in this area.

A quick and easy service, the Readability Test Tool evaluates the material on your website and returns a results score that indicates the youngest reader age at which the information might be read and understood. For example, 9–10-year-olds might readily understand material at grade level 4. Although grade levels between six and eight are ideal, you'll be OK as long as you don't go too high.

Online Secure Shell Client: All You Need to Find Out About Securely Accessing Your Servers

Secure shell (SSH) is a procedure that makes it possible for safe and secure communication in between two on-line devices by encrypting the information broadcast coming from one point to the various other. Accessing your servers online may appear like an overwhelming task, yet SSH produces it much more safe than ever. By utilizing SSH, you can set up a secure link with your web server from another location.

All Concerning Online Secure Shell (SSH) Client

This post intends to deal with everything you need to have to find out about online SSH and exactly how it can aid you access your web servers safely.

What is actually SSH, as well as exactly how does it function?

Secure shell protocol is a system protocol made use of to access remote units securely. An SSH client links to an SSH server, which has an SSH daemon that listens to asks for coming from the clients for validated login sessions or remote control command completion. SSH client secures all relevant information delivered between the client as well as the server, featuring security passwords and commands, which protects against eavesdropping, IP spoofing, as well as various other sorts of system attacks.

Exactly how to connect to Remote Servers utilizing SSH?

To link to a remote control server making use of SSH, you to begin with need to have to possess an SSH client put in on your local computer system. There are actually numerous SSH clients on call for different operating bodies, consisting of Microsoft window, macOS, and also Linux. Once you possess an online SSH client set up, you can easily connect to your distant web server utilizing an SSH connection chain that includes the server's internet protocol deal with, the SSH web server's port variety, as well as the SSH protocol model.

Exactly How to Safely Transactions Reports along with SSH?

In addition to visiting from another location, SSH can also be made use of for secure report transactions between local area and also remote units. The Secure Copy (SCP) protocol is actually a built-in data transmission system in SSH that enables you to duplicate files tightly in between pair of networked units. You may use SCP to move files by functioning a command like "scp filename user@remoteserver:/path/to/destination" on your neighborhood personal computer. This order duplicates the data called "filename" to the distant server in the listing "/ path/to/destination.".

Exactly how to create and also take care of SSH Keys?

SSH keys are actually a pair of cryptographic tricks utilized for authentication and shield of encryption of SSH links. The secrets contain a private key that you hold on your local tool as well as a public secret that you publish to the remote control SSH web server. To generate SSH tricks, you may utilize the ssh-keygen order in your command-line terminal. After producing the tricks, you need to post everyone secret to the remote SSH web server. You can handle your SSH keys utilizing the ssh-agent energy, which securely shops your exclusive secrets as well as enables you to utilize all of them without needing to enter your passphrase each time.

How to make use of SSH to Develop a VPN link?

Secure shell port sending could be used to make a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection between pair of networked gadgets. The procedure includes specifying the neighborhood and also distant ends of a tunnel, where network website traffic is actually encrypted as well as sent out firmly in between all of them. SSH VPN hookups work when you need to have to gain access to sources on a remote network safely, like when accessing data kept on a remote control server.

Conclusion

As additional services and organizations depend on electronic resources and distant teams, safe access to web servers ends up being a necessity of their regular procedures. Making use of SSH, you can develop a safe and secure link with your servers remotely, and gain access to all of them firmly from anywhere. This blog has dealt with everything you require to understand about online SSH, from what it is just how it works, to how to safely and securely transfer documents as well as create VPN hookups. With the right resources as well as understanding, you can use SSH to stay safe and effective, regardless of where you are.

Mageia 8 is Now Available with Linux 5.10 LTS » Linux Magazine

NVIDIA Optimus laptop users rejoice, Mageia 8 now includes improved support, thanks to an upgraded graphics stack that includes Mesa 20.3.4 and X.Org Server 1.20.1. This upgrade improves both the AMD and NVIDIA GPU experience with the platform. For NVIDIA users, there’s the new experimental mageia-prime configuration tool that makes it possible to get the most out of your NVIDIA GPU. But the new…

[bylrndgm]

you do edits and gifs right? i am trying to find a good screen recorder (preferably free and without a watermark. kind of a tall order. i know) i just wondered if maybe you knew of one? also curious what programs/process you use to create your gifs and edits if you don't mind sharing ty

Hey! I've been making gifs for the last ten years and I got some tricks up my sleeve. It's going to be such a long post (as I'll discuss my process in detail and depth, explaining all the little things), so if anyone is interested, just read under the cut! (❁´◡`❁)

Step one: finding the video

To make an HQ gif, your video has to be HQ. The best choice is to go on YouTube and download the highest-quality video:

Example -> if there is as quality option 4K, download the video in 4K.

Remember that .mp4 videos have a lower quality, because it's a compressed file.

A better extension is .mkv, which I find preserves the quality better.

If you can't get the video from YouTube, you may still want to have a good quality video -> you can still record your screen and I suggest this open source program: OBS Studio (Win, Mac and Linux!)

Here you can play with the settings -> on the output menu, remember to select the .mkv output! (NOTE: you need to play around with the settings because depending on how powerful your PC is, some will be better than others!)

Now all you have to do is press start recording and once you recorded your video, press stop recording (it's pretty intuitive!!)

Step two: screencapping

It's the slowest way to make gifs, but it helps preserving the quality.

Once you have your video, you need to make the screencaps!

Download KMPlayer

Right click on the middle of the screen > options > preferences

These are my settings:

Open your file (you screen recorded in OBS studio) and put the cursor to the point the scene you want your gif starts

Then right click (on the screen) and select this

Make sure these are your options:

Press start and press play on the player -> now let it play until you finish your scene -> then press stop.

On the folder you chose as destination of the extraction, you should have something like this.

Step three: making the gif

Open Photoshop (I have Photoshop CC - 2018).

Go on File > Scripts > Load files into stack

Click on browse -> select all the screencaps you previously made -> once they're loaded, press on OK

Now, lean back, relax, grab some coffee because it's gonna take a while!

Turn on your timeline (Window > Timeline)

And press on Create frame Animation, there in the middle

Then press on the little burger menu on top right of the timeline and click on Make frames from layers

Click again on that menu and select Reverse frames

Now, select all the frames (the ones you see on the timeline) and right click where you see "0 sec" and choose Other ...

Put 0.04 as delay!

Step four: cropping and sharpening

Select the Crop Tool (shortcut: C) and you should have something like this

Move the handlers like this (don't reduce the image size!)

I just eliminated the black stripes on top and bottom and resized the width

Then confirm

Go to Image > Image Size and these are my settings:

If you want to make a ONE COLUMN gifset -> width has to be 540 px

If you want to make a TWO COLUMN gifset -> width has to be 268 px

Height doesn't matter! Press OK.

Now, back to your Timeline, press that little icon on the bottom left

Now, this is what should happen:

On the layers panel, select all the layers and right click -> Convert to Smart Object

Now, you can use whatever sharpening option you want -> go on Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen.

I usually do that twice:

OPTIONAL -> duplicate the layer and set the opacity to 30% -> add Gaussian Blur (radius 1.5)

Step five: coloring

Now this is the fun part, and it's always different! So, just play around with the adjustments and find what suits the scene the best!

Step six: saving

File > Export > Save for Web

NOTE: .gif files must be under 10MB to be uploaded on Tumblr

REMEMBER TO SET LOOPING TO FOREVER!!!

And that is it!? If you have any questions please DM me, or send in another ask + there is a quicker way to do this, let me know if you are interested in that.

I had an ok week. I fixed some bugs, improved some quality of life, and overhauled vacuum maintenance.

full changelog

highlights

If you got a superwide duplicates filter page sidebar last week, it should fix itself today. It was an UI bug from a couple weeks ago that wasn't fully cleaned up.

The e621 downloader stopped finding files in the past week, but I have fixed it. You don't have to do anything. I understand they may still be making changes on their end, so let me know if anything new breaks.

When you see file timestamps in the media viewer's top hover window or the file right-click menu, their tooltips are now the inverse of your 'always show ISO timestamps' setting. So, if it says 'modified: 2 years ago', the tooltip will say 'modified: 2022-11-20 14:23:39', and vice versa!

Advanced users only: The database 'vacuum' maintenance task, which is essentially a database defrag, now runs significantly faster (in my tests, maybe 10 times faster, anything from 30-170MB/s, but I suspect super big databases will run ~10MB/s) and no longer needs to use your temp dir. I only recommend running vacuum every, say, five years for a few percent performance improvement, but if you have been waiting to clean up or truncate a huge and tangled client.mappings.db, it should be easier to find the space now. I have also added a summary popup that reports how much space the vacuum saved and how fast it worked. I'd be interested in knowing what speeds you see.

next week

I have nothing exciting prepared for v600. Just some more general work while I continue to chip away at duplicates auto-resolution in the background.

Will totalfinder remove duplicate files

#Will totalfinder remove duplicate files upgrade

#Will totalfinder remove duplicate files software

#Will totalfinder remove duplicate files iso

#Will totalfinder remove duplicate files mac

#Will totalfinder remove duplicate files windows

Should anyone do this I am certain it would be a successful product. In Linux I rely on the commandline, and don't mind that terribly, but if I had the time I would create a file manager that was easily extensible with Python taking design cues from something like Sublime Text.

#Will totalfinder remove duplicate files iso

And I should definitely be able to create a custom button that launches tools or performs certain common operations like flattening a directory tree or creating an ISO from a VIDEO_TS folder. I shouldn't have to sit around and wait for a 40GB copy to move from one network location to another before I can start another bit of data movement. I also dislike the lack of a queueing mechanism. The one key feature that I have been unable to find in any Linux file manager is extensibility. It wasn't perfect, but was damn close for me (admittedly a power user as far as file management tasks is concerned). Since switching to Linux on my primary desktop a few years ago, a file manager remains the only thing I miss from Windows.

#Will totalfinder remove duplicate files windows

The reason is because on System 7, the Finder window I had open was a natural extension of my current task and I just closed it when I was done with the task, while in MacOS X, I just usually have one or two windows open and then periodically feel like they're a distraction that's getting in my way. Ironically, the reason Steve Jobs gave for the new MacOS X finder was that the old one popped open a bunch of windows that you'd have to manually "garbage collect", but I feel like I'm garbage-collecting a lot more on MacOS X than on System 7. It prevents you from getting into a situation where you've opened up a bunch of Finder windows, navigated through them, and then find that they're all pointing at your home directory again. That metaphorical consistency is very important for building a good UI, but products these days have gotten so complex that most of them lose it.Ģ.

#Will totalfinder remove duplicate files mac

On early Mac versions, the Finder "was" your files, it wasn't just "a browser for" your files. It preserves the metaphor of your desktop being a place where you can directly manipulate your files and folders. (To be fair, the one company that's tried the "great, let's make a great product, kill off the competition, and then hold it there and reassign all the people" was Microsoft with IE6, and that worked fine up until Firefox and Chrome came around and then completely screwed them over.)ġ. It's like up till then you have room to improve, and then suddenly you've hit the pinnacle of product design in your category, but rather than hold it there, you have to make random changes so your employees have something to do and don't quit. There seems to be this phenomenom where good products seems to get better right up until they get mainstream adoption, and then they steadily get worse. It seemed to hit the sweet spot where you could do just about everything you needed to easily (it had collapsible tree views, folders, computed folder sizes, drag & drop, copy & paste, labels, etc.), but it didn't try to hide things from you or restrict what you could do, it didn't get too fancy and guess at your common tasks, it actually showed your filesystem instead of Apple's prescribed guess at what your filesystem should do, and it was still simple enough that you could wrap your head around exactly how it worked. When it comes to look and feel, "It's better to look good than to feel good!" The frustration is that unlike them, Apple could do so much better, but ever since the candy-colored iMacs, they've decided that Fernando (Billy Crystal's old SNL character) was right. And yet the rest of the industry is so fragmented that they don't do any better in terms of usability. Now, it's all about the style, about how the edges look in fashion magazines.

#Will totalfinder remove duplicate files software

Can't you work on this, Apple? "Thinner!"Īpple used to emphasize software quality and usability.

#Will totalfinder remove duplicate files upgrade

Or, the apps get worse, not better, over time, and you always have to ask yourself whether each free OS upgrade is worth the risk of unreliable WiFi. Don't you realize how critically important that is?" Or a yearning for more battery life, or even just a swappable battery? "The bottom of our laptop looks better than the top of theirs!" Or, why is the text on my iPhone suddenly so low contrast and hard to read? "Surely you agree that having a fresh look matters more than readability! Look, the icons are flat. Surely you agree that the appearance of a thin edge is more important than usability of Finder or connectors." I mean this more metaphorically than literally, but I'm so tired of complaints about the ridiculously primitive Finder being met with, "the edge of the iMac now appears even thinner, now that we've repositioned formerly convenient connectors and such into a bulge behind the screen. Because you can't really tell how well software is working when looking at the device edge-on, and that's apparently the way Apple looks at them most of the time.
