Dear Maintainer,

The subject says it all. I tried to run rmlint --gui, selecting
Personal Directory ($HOME) and clicking on "Scan folders". The next
screen shows a directory tree with only / and $HOME as its
subdirectory in the left and "Nothing found" on the right.

Clicking on $HOME, divides the right part of the screen with a copy of
the left part over the "nothing found" previously mentioned.

When run on command line on the same directory I have the following output:

==> In total 30509 files, whereof 3819 are duplicates in 2046 groups.
==> This equals 1.11 GB of duplicates which could be removed.
==> 223 other suspicious item(s) found, which may vary in size.
==> Scanning took in total 6.878s.

I expected to have some similar results on both cli and gui, with some
better visualization of files on gui.

I may provide any extra information upon request.

Thanks in advance.

Best, Alexandre

I believe this was fixed upstream in 2.10.0 (commits f62c2b8 and 0b22580).
