See. Your discussion proves my point perfectly. Too much hassle.

I can't work out if you're trolling or not, but your comment doesn't make sense at all. I needed to perform a task, and I did so fairly trivially from the command line. Someone else offered what they thought might be a shorter alternative, I pointed out that the task was more complex than they thought.
You take this as evidence that it can be done from a GUI?
So, let's go back to your comment. You said:
I still haven't found a tool which
doesn't have an equivalent GUI.
If you want to make me take you seriously, please tell me how you would: Given two directories,
find all duplicate files that are
both less than 10 minutes old
In other words, given directories A and B, find all filenames f such that: $A/$f is less than 10 minutes old
$B/$f is less than 10 minutes old
$A/$f is identical to $B/$f
Now tell me how you would do that every hour for a week.
