[Feature]: Per User setting

[rspierenburg]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently Duplicate finder is finding duplicates in accounts that aren't currently logged in. Since the user doesn't have access to other accounts folder the logged in user cannot instill changes to the duplicates found.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have a setting that allows you to select only the logged in user's account when searching.

finding duplicates in accounts that aren't currently logged in

What do you mean by that? Duplicatefinder runs a background cron job that detects and catalogs duplicates for the entire system. When you go into the duplicatefinder tab, it isn't finding duplicates instantly, its just reading the database of detected duplicates that apply to that particular user.

Well in my particular case I have two users, Myself and my Wife. We both use the Nextcloud App with Auto Upload enabled. Mine sends photos to my "Photo" folder and my wife's sends to the auto upload folder. She also periodically does a dump of all the photos on her phone to another folder.
When I run Duplicate Finder from my account it lists all the duplicate files for both accounts (just as you mentioned) the issue is however I cannot delete any duplicates that reside in her account as I don't have access to those files. Those files then disappear from the list only to reappear on next refresh.
So from what you are saying, because Duplicate finder just runs a Cron job on the entire system there is no way to just showing duplicate files relevant to the logged in user?

It should only be showing you your own files and files that are shared to you. You can only delete files that you have write/delete access to.

Well on my account I clearly see duplicate files located in an "Auto upload" and "Phone Photos" folder that I don't have. And neither of these folders are shared with me.

edit: And the weird part is it lets me "delete" the file and it removes it from the list, but then on the next page refresh its there again.

Sounds like a bug. It shouldn't be displaying those.

That "weird" part isn't weird at all, it fails to delete because you don't have permission to delete it.

I guess by weird I mean it doesn't complain when I try to delete the file.
