Duplocator: If you have thounsands of files on your hard disk there are problably some duplicates using up disk space. If you work with images, sound samples, or video clips you will often end up with copies that you actually don''t need, but it''s too much work to seek them all out and compare them manually. This is a python-script that scans a directory and its sub-directories looking for for files with the same content, not the name. Once two similar files have been found the newest file is moved to a directory called ''duplicates'' additionally a log file is kept with references to all the files that were moved. You can later review the duplicate files and remove them to save precious hard disk space.
