dupeGuru
dupeGuru is a cross-platform (Linux, OS X, Windows) GUI tool to find duplicate files in
a system. It's written mostly in Python 3 and has the peculiarity of using
multiple GUI toolkits, all using the same core Python code. On OS X, the UI layer
is written in Objective-C and uses Cocoa. On Linux, it's written in Python and uses Qt5.
The Cocoa UI of dupeGuru is hosted in a separate repo: https://github.com/hsoft/dupeguru-cocoa
Current status
Development has been slow this past year, however very close to getting all the different 4.0.4 releases posted. Most of the work this past year (2019) has been towards packaging the application and issues related to that.
Still looking for additional help especially with regards to:
- OSX maintenance (reproducing bugs & cocoa version)
- Linux maintenance (reproducing bugs)

- images: Images used by the different UI codebases.
- pkg: Skeleton files required to create different packages
- help: Help document, written for Sphinx.
- locale: .po files for localization.

How to build dupeGuru from source
Windows
For windows instructions see the Windows Instructions.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.5+
- PyQt5
make
dupeGuru is built with "make":
$ make
$ make run
Generate Debian/Ubuntu package
$ bash -c "python3 -m venv --system-site-packages env && source env/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt && python3 build.py --clean && python3 package.py"
Running tests
The complete test suite is run with Tox 1.7+. If you have it installed system-wide, you
don't even need to set up a virtualenv. Just cd into the root project folder and run tox.
If you don't have Tox system-wide, install it in your virtualenv with pip install tox and then
run tox.
You can also run automated tests without Tox. Extra requirements for running tests are in
requirements-extra.txt. So, you can do pip install -r requirements-extra.txt inside your
virtualenv and then py.test core hscommon
