[Request] Ignore hard links option for Find duplicate files

Post by *DrShark »

The most common intent for using "Find duplicate files" function in TC (especially with "same contents" item checked) is to remove the same files to increase free space.
However, removing hard links in fact doesn't increase space, while TC spend a lot of time comparing such files (including relatively big) for content.

* Request: to save search time, for "Find duplicate files" function options please add new item "Ignore hard links", which won't count hard links as duplicate files (special behavior may be added to auto-count hard links as duplicate files without additional comparing for those who want compare them with the same but not linked files or just want to see them in search results).

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
