Re: declone beta

I searched for 100% duplicate music files under the Music folder and got this response: "The search didn't go very well... Do you want to revise your comparison parameters?" Is that because there are no duplicates? Or is there an error of some kind? This is too ambiguous to know what to do.

this error means that either there are no duplicates or they couldn't be identified with the scan parameters used
I changed this message a little because many people seem to find it confusing.

I guarantee double checked them.

Loads of music files were 'recovered' more than once, and thus this tool is massively helpful to me in that it helps me remove files I've already recovered and re-tagged and placed in the correct folder versus files when compared to files named like F52346246243673543.flac

Completely different file names, exactly same hash.
