Comment 0 for bug 1529700

The goal is to search for duplicate files and then delete all duplicates except the newest version of the file. This could be done by using fslint-gui:

1. Click "Find" in first tab "Duplicates"
2. Click "Select" -> "within groups" -> "Select all but newest" - then all files except the newest ones are selected
3. Click "Delete" - the expectation is that the marked files will be deleted

In Step 2 the following error is printed in the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fslint-gui", line 1580, in on_select_all_but_newest_in_each_group_activate
    self.on_select_all_but_one_in_each_group_activate("newest")
  File "/usr/bin/fslint-gui", line 1616, in on_select_all_but_one_in_each_group_activate
    unselect_row = find_row_to_unselect(clist, row, which)
  File "/usr/bin/fslint-gui", line 1602, in find_row_to_unselect
    while get_selectable(row, row_data) and row < clist.rows:
  File "/usr/bin/fslint-gui", line 421, in get_selectable
    return row_data[row][0] != '#'
IndexError: list index out of range
