v0.2.0

• Major overhaul of the UI using Spectre.Tui
  • Spectre.Tui-based UI: Reworked the duplicate results viewer and scan progress into a full TUI experience (DuplicateResultsViewer, CacheViewer, and supporting components), which keeps the UI rendering directly to the terminal rather than adding new lines
• New file hash caching system
  • File hash caching: Persistent file hash cache stored in app storage to speed up repeat scans (FileHashCache, CacheCommand, cache viewer TUI)
  • Cache viewer: See the list of currently cached file data with options for deleting some/all entries
• Export scan results
  • Scan result export: Export scan results to JSON for later review (E shortcut, to current path)
• Usability improvements
  • Navigation: Navigate around match list with paging and home/end key support
  • Match detail improvements: Show modified date and full root path in duplicate details view
  • Display consistency: Unify file size formatting (0.00 display)
  • Usability: Switched from yellow to orange for better readability on light terminal backgrounds

v0.1.1

Almost a full rewrite of prototype to use a comparer system: file type comparers, interactive duplicate browser, and scan filtering options.

Interactive results browser

• Navigate a paged file match list
• Sort option to change between path name or largest file size first
• Detail view per match showing file paths, sizes, hashes, and timestamps
• Open files directly from the match file item
• Refresh option to re-verify a match after making any external changes

Scan filtering customization parameters

• Multi-directory scanning with multiple --path (-p) parameters
• --min-size (-s): Prevent scanning files under a particular size using size shorthand (e.g., --min-size 500MB, --min-size 2GB)
• --exclude (-x): Allow skipping entire subdirectory trees
• --exclude-extension: Allow skipping files by extension (e.g., .log, .tmp)
• --exclude-filename: Allow skipping specific filenames
• --exclude-system-files: Shorthand to allow excluding common OS-generated files (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db, etc.)

Content-aware file comparison

• Added file type-specific comparer system with initial implementations for audio (ID3 tags), image (EXIF data), and binary files
• --allow-metadata-diffs (-m) flag: compare files by content only, ignoring embedded metadata differences

v0.1.0

NOTE: Builds removed since they had an issue with trimming a dependency library in a way that resulted in the final builds now running correctly.
