#### Byte-by-byte binary duplicate finder & similarity inspector with hex diff

Binary Duplicate Finder is a fast, deterministic Linux desktop utility for
verifying exact binary duplicates byte-by-byte and detecting near-duplicate
filenames across multiple folders. Independent open-source project, not
affiliated with or endorsed by any third-party software vendor.

BYTE-BY-BYTE BINARY COMPARE ENGINE
• Verifies exact duplicates through a 3-tier binary check: Exact Size bucket
-> 4 KB Head + Tail signature -> Chunked Byte-for-Byte stream comparison.
• Live telemetry displays scan throughput (MB/s), total files scanned,
duplicate groups, and reclaimable bytes.

FILENAME SIMILARITY & HEX DIFF INSPECTOR
• Optional SequenceMatcher filename similarity mode (adjustable 50% to 100%
threshold) surfaces near-duplicate revisions and versioned documents.
• Side-by-side inline inspector previews text, images, and hexadecimal byte
dumps with highlighted first-64-byte binary differences between pairs.

SMART AUTO-CHECK, MOVE/DELETE & SCAN PROFILES
• Auto-check copies with Keep Oldest, Keep Newest, or Keep Smallest Folder
rules, then safely Move Checked to Folder or confirm deletion.
• Save exclusion folder patterns, size bounds, similarity presets, and JSON
scan history across sessions, with English and Vietnamese interface support.
