Hi! Is there a way to print the candidate files as well? This should be useful in my case, I'm consolidating several terabytes of data, and some are duplicated and come from old hard drives that were giving errors while dumping all of its data into a NAS, but I have backups and now have dupli-tri-quadri-penta... and so on -plicated files now.
I have used fclones to deduplicate a lot of files, but there are some that are, or well, should be, exactly the same contents except for maybe a couple of kbytes or even a byte that were damaged in transit.
So, I would like to print out the candidate list so that I can manually review the files and then deduplicate if that's the case.
For example just ran into this scenario:
fclones: info: Found 8 (xx GB) candidates after grouping by suffix
fclones: info: Found 6 (xx GB) redundant files
After some lurking around, I found a damaged file and the correct counterpart (by listing by du --apparent-size and looking for duplicated sizes manually)
Other example, there are also some partial downloads that have the full size allocated, but I have the full download as well in other location, so should be the same file after some manual intervention and then can be deduped or deleted.
