"Ignore hard links" does the wrong thing

[wfunction]

Hi! I think "Ignore hard links" is not doing what it should really be doing.

Hard links should only be ignored merely because they are hard links. Rather, they should be ignored when their "duplicates" are links to themselves. For example, if A1 <-> A2 are linked and B1 <-> B2 are linked, and they all have the same contents, then A1 and B1 should be reported as duplicates despite the fact that they are hard links. The current program does not behave correctly in this regard; could this please be fixed?

Sorry for the late answer.
The option "Ignore hard links" works correct.
All hard linked files pointing to the same content on your hard disk.
There is no hard link master file.

When I tested the "Ignore hard links" option it seemed that all hard links were skipped completely, which might be the intended behavior...

what I want is to avoid comparing files which are hardlinks of each other but still search for other dups of those hardlinked files
