What is the best duplicate file finder, that preserves my source of truth? - eviltoast

Having been so meticulous about taking back ups, I’ve perhaps not as been as careful about where I stored them, so I now have a loads of duplicate files in various places. I;ve tried various tools fdupes, czawka etc. , but none seems to do what I want… I need a tool that I can tell which folder (and subfolders) is the source of truth, and to look for anything else, anywhere else that’s a duplicate, and give me an option to move or delete. Seems simple enough, but I have found nothing that allows me to do that… Does anyone know of anything ?

    Well it won’t. You either tell it to assume that say oldest is always source and if there are identical files then you get asked to choose.
