CloneSpy vs jdupes

CloneSpy has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

jdupes is a free utility for finding and handling exact duplicate files on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It identifies files that are fully identical rather than matching images, sounds, or other formats by similarity. Matching can use file size, hashes, and byte-for-byte comparison, with optional partial-hash matching. The project says it checks matching data after hashing to reduce the chance of false matches from hash collisions. Found duplicates can be reviewed before deletion, deleted without prompting, linked, summarized, or handled through copy-on-write deduplication. On Linux and Unix, the instructions use command-line directory paths; the project also provides a native Windows port, including support for Unicode. Docker use is documented, and standard output can feed shell scripts. A database can retain scan metadata for repeat runs, though the project labels that feature as under development and notes quirks. The README warns that quick matching skips byte-for-byte checks and can classify non-duplicates as duplicates. It also warns that disabling file-change checks creates a security vulnerability, especially when linking or deleting. jdupes is distributed under the MIT License.
