- Scrappy1850, on 10/07/2008, -8/+53do your underpants say "Tuesday" on them?
- 2ndEdition, on 10/07/2008, -2/+25your face deserves to be punched in.
- raublekick, on 10/07/2008, -2/+19I can tell you why, kind of... For me, like you, I keep all my music in ~/Music, photos in ~/Photos, and so on. BUT... those directories are only for files that I deem worthy to be in my collection. All my CD rips go right to ~/Music, but anything I download has to be inspected by me. I don't want untagged, dissimilar bit rate, crappy rips going into my official collection. Thus, I end up with a desktop full of "temporary" files that either need to be tossed or not. And since hard disk space is pretty cheap, most of the time it doesn't get tossed because there is no need. On first glance my filesystem is a cluttered mess, but anything that matters is pristinely organized.

- xptweakerntn, on 10/07/2008, -18/+31I've never exactly understood how people get multiple copies of the same document. Then again, I've never understood how cluttered some people's filesystems are. How can people live with some of their MP3's on (Windows) C:, some of them on their desktop, a lot of them in "My Music" AND "My Documents". My filesystem is as neat as it could be. All the music in ~/Data/Music. All my Photographs in ~/Data/Photograhs/. Etc etc etc. How can people be so messy?

echo 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage"' >> /etc/make.conf
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-admin/fslint
cd /usr/local/portage/app-admin/fslint
wget http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/fslint-2.28.ebuild
ebuild fslint-2.28.ebuild digest
emerge fslint - res0nat0r, on 10/07/2008, -0/+11check out the fdupes program also.

Quick and easy, and command line based. Great to run recursively at the top level of your 300G mp3 dir to find duplicate mp3's. - skyshock1, on 10/07/2008, -4/+14Because OS's allow you to store files on the Desktop. And by the same token, have you seen how messy most people's desktops are? And for that matter their homes?
/facepalm. - MistaMatt90, on 10/07/2008, -3/+12[comment about how clean my file system is and about how this is stupid ]
- sirber, on 10/07/2008, -0/+7you don't use, you luse
- jpaolini, on 10/07/2008, -0/+7Ahh, the sign of a true dumbass fan boy. Every story you've dugg is somehow Apple-related. How messy people are have nothing to do with their OS of choice.
Tool.
:) :) - NTolerance, on 10/07/2008, -0/+7Do your part and help save a desktop:
mkdir ~/tmp - bretkuhns, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3Yeah, I have a whole subdirectory for that stuff. Downloaded music/pictures/videos go to ~/Downloads/[Music|Pictures|Videos]/ other stuff might go to ~/Downloads/Bit Torrent, or ~/Downloads/Gnutella, etc. Things sit in my Downloads directory until they are promoted to their "useful" directories directly in my home directory. My desktop is empty, and it shall stay that way :)
- Hobo97, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3The problem mostly occurs not through multiple folders containing similar or identical content, but rather when one tries to classify things that often belong to multiple categories. Take for instance music. If you are unable to find something you believe you should find under a folder, you may be compelled to acquire it again.
- Culyt, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2fdupes rocks.
I've never really needed it for mp3s, but someone should do something with musicbrains style audio fingerprinting, that way if your songs are slightly different versions, bitrates or whatever it can find them.
Incidentally look at organising mp3s with picard (Musicbrains tagger program). - tao7173, on 10/07/2008, -5/+6agree!
- misilman, on 10/07/2008, -0/+1tl;dr
- res0nat0r, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1I have been wanting to do exactly this but haven't looked into trying to find and learn the API for Musicbrains to to what you are asking. It would be great to do this to find files with the same audio, but different id3 tags.
shntool can sort of do this with its md5 option, but this is for lossless file types (ape, flac, shn, wav, etc). It will give you an md5sum of the actual audio content and ignore the metadata. Handy also. - pixelbeat_, on 10/07/2008, -0/+1Well it mightn't be your files. For example I had a released copy of a Corel office suite, 20% of which (100 MB or so I think) was duplicate files.
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1I agree - I can't stand to see people's desktops littered with files, broken links and general crap.
It suggests that if people are unable to keep their desktop tidy, then they are less likely to be concerned about exactly WHAT they are saving in the first place. "Whats that icon for?" - "I don't know it just appeared one time".
- regeya, on 10/07/2008, -1/+1That's what I strive for; the reality is different. My home machine, and my work machine, are amongst the best I've seen. I see people save files just willy nilly, and at some point, they have no idea how they can have a few dozen photos, a few hours of music, and they've nevertheless managed to fill a terabyte of storage space.
- jemka, on 10/07/2008, -5/+5*your
- jayzeus, on 10/07/2008, -2/+2THANK YOU!
- sirber, on 10/07/2008, -4/+3# eix fslint

- ShiftyBizniss, on 10/07/2008, -10/+1"Packages for fslint are available in Ubuntu Hardy universe and in the Fedora 9 repositories." ... raise your thumb if this crap means nothing to you.
- Takuro, on 10/07/2008, -34/+2O rly?
Oh wait ... this story is under Linux/Unix. This doesn't apply to me cuz i use a mac :) :)
