Contentcopy

Contentcopy merges directory contents, deduplicating files based on their content.

If a file with differing contents but the same name is encountered, the copied filename will automatically have a number appended, making it easy to see duplicate filenames.

Usage

python3 contentcopy.py <source> <dest>

e.g.

python3 contentcopy.py old_pictures new_pictures

Will copy all pictures in old_pictures that are not yet in new_pictures to new_pictures. After this you can safely delete old_pictures without worrying about data loss.

Installation

pip install contentcopy
