Hello, i am on Windows 10.
i have two HDDs and they have some common (duplicate) files between them (usually movies or videos).
I am already using CClearner to find duplicates and remove them, but in this case, i do not want just remove duplicates, but i need to replace duplicates by a symbolic link to a original file.
Original file would be one that belong to certain HDD or folder(and its subfolders) or the file that is oldest.
I googled and found some software, but none seem to be working the way, it allows quick completion (maybe under 1 hour) of this task,i need to repeat this task maybe once per month. The amount of files checked would be large, (maybe 200,000, unless script/app is made to work only with certain file types). And comparison if files are same would have to not be done based on file name, but maybe on some hash of the file or size in bytes and extension.
