Right now if you double click on an OSZ for a map that is already present in your Songs folder but not directly in the root of it, it gets added anyway, creating a duplicate. (this is the case when using subfolders inside Songs)

It's also possible to manually add map folders into the Songs parent folder and end up with multiple copies of the same map in different sub-folders present in Songs.

This feature request asks for an option to eliminate all duplicates, some button in osu's options panel that you can click to get a list of all maps and amount of duplicates each map has and then an option to click on each one and purge its duplicates.

I think this is going to be fixed with osz2

But I don't care about osz2. Why can't this be fixed now. It's easy as hell to fix, considering osu /already/ checks the contents of your songs folder, and literally all that's left is for it to spot duplicates and delete one of their copies until there's no longer dups...

A thousand times yes, this please. Duplicate folders not only waste hard drive space, they cause tons of problems when the duplicate is one of your own maps and you try to submit. Popping down a few stars o/

I scratched my head on why certain song is played at the preview point again while it's the exact same song and within same mapset, until I found out that I have a duplicate folder containing the same song, one has 2 diffs while the other has 3.

You have my invisible star support.

I have a feeling that this also causes the random disappearances of some maps that I like.
