Tools

The Tools page currently has one utility: the Duplicate Finder. (It’s built to hold more utilities later — see ROADMAP.md — but nothing else lives here yet.)

Duplicate Finder

Finds files with identical content across your vaults.

• How matches are found: files are grouped by their full-file hash — not the fast “head hash” used for quick scan checks, but the complete hash computed and verified during the hashing phase (see Scanning & Detection). Only files currently in OK status are eligible, so a file that hasn’t been fully hashed yet, or is flagged CORRUPT/MISSING, won’t show up as a duplicate.
• Scope: duplicates are matched across all your vaults by default. Use the vault dropdown to narrow the list to one vault at a time.
• Protected vs Raw hash mode: a Protected (HMAC-keyed) vault’s files and a Raw vault’s files are never matched against each other for duplicates, since their hashes aren’t in a comparable format — see Security & Encryption.
• Groups: matching files are shown grouped together, one group per distinct piece of content.

Hiding a file

Each file in a duplicate group has a Hide button. Hiding a file:

• Removes it from the Duplicate Finder list only.
• Does not change anything about how it’s monitored — it’s still scanned, verified, and parity-protected exactly as before, and it isn’t touched on disk.

Use this to declutter the list once you’ve decided a duplicate is intentional (e.g. a deliberate backup copy inside the same vault) without losing track of it here again.

Hidden files move to a separate “Hidden from this list” section, shown when you toggle Show hidden files. Each row there has an Unhide button to bring it back into the normal duplicate view.

Paging

Results page through 25 files at a time with Previous/Next controls (no jump-to-page).
