About
Detwinner is a tool to search and remove exact file duplicates and similar images.
You can search for either exact duplicates (100% byte-to-byte match is ensured by the special hash function) or similar images (Detwinner generates groups of images that look alike using similarity level specified by you). You can also narrow your search by specifying file size, attributes and regular expressions.
Smart selection tools provide numerous options for batch selection of files which should be deleted. Instant preview allows you to be confident in your choice.
Files can be deleted permanently, to the trash bin or moved to the backup folder.
Permissions
2 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.
- full access to your entire file system
--filesystem=host - X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
--socket=x11 - inter-process communication (needed for X11)
--share=ipc - Wayland display
--socket=wayland - X11 display, only when Wayland is unavailable
--socket=fallback-x11 - access to xdg-run/gvfsd
--filesystem=xdg-run/gvfsd - talks to org.gtk.vfs.*
--talk-name=org.gtk.vfs.*
