+1 for this bug - seems like it might be worth the effort.

On a server, which has so many exposures to security threats, it is generally recommended to limit the installed packages to a minimum.

See what the server team had to say about this, along with safer multi-window alternatives:
 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI

As part of this, I suggest producing the output of "save" in a way that preserves more of the important information. E.g. the information shown for "Duplicates" doesn't indicate which files are dups of which. And given some easily-parsible save format, server admins could even manage the deletions on their own if a nice cli deletion interface doesn't spring to mind.

Though to be sure, there are other duplicate-finding tools that already work well in the command-line environment, like fdupes, ftimes, liten, etc.

Thanks,
