Hello can anyone recommend some software for Linux that I can use to import audio recordings and videos and organize them while hopefully detecting duplicates and ignoring those.

I've been using darktable for a good while now for photography management and editing but sort of stopped hitting the record button on my camera because I know darktable doesn't import video.

I know digikam can sort of work with video files to import and organize as well as photo rapid downloaded. Photo rapid downloaded is pretty good from when I used to use it before moving to bazzite and was unable to get it to work. Now I'm on cachyOS but didn't have any luck getting it to work either. It also didn't do audio from what I remember.

But I'm also going to be recording audio with my field recorder and wonder if there's maybe another option where I can dump audio, video from my camera and my cars dash cam as well

Oh I just learned that digikam can do audio so I think that solves what I need, will need to test further, and has import options hidden on the side tab that lets it auto create directories based on file extension and date
