It's now `DupeGuru` that holds it and passes it to `get_dupe_groups()`,
the only place where it's actually used in `Scanner`.
This will make the SE/ME/PE merge easier by allowing us to instantiate
the Scanner on-the-fly since it doesn't hold state anymore.
When the "Replace with links" option is not enabled, the choice of
symlink or hardlink is irrelevant and causes confusion. Implemented core
mechanism for controlling the enabled state of that option. Also
implemented the Qt interface for it. Cocoa-part is still to be done.
I used this opportunity to greatly enhance documentation of this part of
the code. I'm beginning to like documenting...
Ref #247.
Refactored dupeGuru to make hscommon.path's API a bit close to pathlib's
API. It's not 100% compatible yet, but it's much better than before.
This is more of a hscommon refactoring than a dupeguru one, but since
duepGuru is the main user of Path, it was the driver behind the
refactoring.
This refactoring also see the introduction of @pathify, which ensure
Path arguments. Previously, we were often unsure of whether the caller
of a function was passing a Path or a str. This problem is now solved
and this allows us to remove hscommon.io, an ill-conceived attempt to
solve that same ambiguity problem.
Fixes#235.
This unit hosts previously awkward UI view methods which weren't related
to the view itself, but to the current desktop environment. These
functions are now at their appropriate place.
Delta values now work for non-numerical values. Any column,
when its value differs from its ref, becomes orange.
A column that was already a "delta column" keeps its previous
behavior (dupe cells for these columns are always displayed in
orange).
Sorting behavior, when Dupes Only and Delta Values are enabled
at the same time, has also been extended to non-numerical
values, making it easy to mass-mark dupe rows with orange
values.
Documentation was updated, unit tests were added.
Fixes#213
Under a windows that supports symlinks (Vista+), we still need
proper privileges. If we don't have it, OSError is raised and we
need to correctly handle this case. Ref #220.
Because the latest changes in hscommon include the introduction of a base GUIObject which significantly changes view setting mechanisms, significant adjustments had to be made in dupeGuru.
