#### Advanced File Finder - Filter-based file search & duplicate finder

Advanced File Finder is a fast desktop file search tool for Linux. It walks
real folders (your Home by default, or any folder/mount you choose) and
filters results by name (contains / glob / regex), type, size range,
modified date, hidden files and text inside files.

A lightweight Linux alternative to SearchMyFiles for searching files by size,
date and attributes.

Key Features:

* Real recursive scan with live results, sortable columns and a 20,000 item cap.
* Filters: name text, glob (\*.log), regex, case matching, file/dir/symlink type,
  min/max size, modified-in-last-N-days, content search in text files.
* Properties tab: stat() details, owner/group, inode, timestamps, symlink
  target, SHA-256 and a hex dump of the first bytes.
* Duplicate finder: groups files by size then SHA-256 and shows reclaimable space.
* Open (xdg-open), open containing folder, copy path, delete with confirmation
  and CSV export.
* Bilingual donate header (Vietnamese / English).
