I have a rather unique solution i have found a proper solution to just yet.
I have a lot of file duplicates that are the same content, different formats and encodings that i need to identify.
For example:
movie1.avi
movie1_r5.avi
movie1_dvdscr.avi
movie1_720p.mkv
movie1.mkv
movie1_DVDSCR.mkv
I want to identify these groups, by similar filename so i can go through and delete everything but the best copy. Usually the first part of the filename is the same, and only _XXXX is different, so i need some sort of search that can account for that any maybe only search the first X characters before an underscore or something of the like.
I could just sort by name, and go through them by hand, but this would take probably 6 hours with the number of files im talking.
Anyone know of a good non-hashing based program that will identify similar filenames?
