# Czkawka
Czkawka is simple, fast and easy to use alternative to Fslint, written in Rust.
Czkawka is a simple, fast and easy to use alternative to FSlint, written in Rust.
This is my first ever project in Rust so probably a lot of things are not being written in the most optimal way.

## Why?
In internet exists a lot of tools to find duplicates, empty folders, temporary files etc. but in most cases there are only available on CLI, which is hard to use by users.
There's a lot of tools to find duplicates, empty folders, temporary files etc. on the Internet, but in most cases these are only available as CLI, which is hard to use by users.
GUI FSlint allows to really easy select different files and folders, but is based on old and unsupported Python 2 and GTK 2.
GUI FSlint allows to select different files and folders easily, but is based on old and unsupported Python 2 and GTK 2.
Other tools are mostly written in C/C++ to provide big performance but still needs to be tested a lot if not contains memory leaks, invalid memory reads/write and double frees.
Other tools are mostly written in C/C++ for high performance but still need to be tested a lot for memory leaks, invalid memory reads/writes and double frees.
But the most important thing for me was to learn Rust and create a program useful for the open source community.
## Features
- Written in fast and memory safe Rust
- CLI frontend, very fast and powerful with rich help
- GUI GTK frontend - use modern GTK 3 and looks similar to FSlint
- GUI GTK frontend - uses modern GTK 3 and looks similar to FSlint
- Light/Dark theme match the appearance of the system
- GUI Orbtk frontend(Very early WIP) - alternative GUI with reduced functionality
- Saving results to file - allows to easily read entries found by tool
- Rich search option - allows setting absolute included and excluded directories, set of allowed files extensions or excluded items with * wildcard

- Clean Glade file in which UI can be easily modernized
- Multiple tools to use:
- Duplicates - Finds duplicates basing on its size(fast), hash(accurate), first 1MB of hash(moderate)
- Empty Folders - Finds empty folders with help of advanced algorithm

- Empty Folders - Finds empty folders with the help of advanced algorithm
- Big Files - Finds provided number of the biggest files in given location
- Empty Files - Looks for empty files across disk
- Temporary Files - Allows finding temporary files
## Usage and requirements
### Requirements
For normal use of the program, the only requirements for is having GTK 3.22+.
For CLI, Orbtk on all OS and GTK GUI on Windows, there is no special requirements.

## Speed
Since Czkawka is written in Rust and aims to be a faster alternative for written in Python - FSlint we need to compare speed of this two tools.

I checked prepared before directory, without any folder exceptions(I removed all directories from FSlint and Czkawka from other tabs than Include Directory) which contained 176 056 files and 22194 folders and 88436 duplicated files in 52330 groups which took 6,2 GB.

First run reads file entry and save it to cache so this step is mostly limited by disk performance, and with second run cache helps it so searching is sometimes faster(with a small amount of duplicates is even 10x faster).

## Name
Czkawka is a Polish word which means hiccup.
Czkawka is a Polish word which means _hiccup_.
I chose this name because I wanted to hear people speaking other languages pronounce it.
This name is not as bad as it seems, because I was also thinking about using words like żółć, gżegżółka czy żołądź, but I gave up these ideas because of having Polish characters, which would be a huge difficulty in searching for a project.
