What's a good Dup. finder for text, files and photos?

I am looking for a really good duplication finder for pictures, files, music

and documents.

 

In pictures it should show the 2 images and then let me delete.

MoreSpace is a great program and has been for many years.

Re: What's a good Dup. finder for text, files and photos?

 

I downloaded it but I have a few questions.

 

It apparently only checks for duplicates in the directory into which this

program is installed.

 

I have a number of drives and I cannot get it to go from drive C: to drive

L; for example. But I can see L, when and only if I install the MORESPACE

into drive L:

 

I also see no way to select the dups automatically. One has to sort through

and hold down the control key to highlight the pups and then delete them.

That is very annoying and time-consuming.

 

I finally do not know (since I have not tried photos yet) whether it

actually Shows both images before I delete. That is what I really would

like.

This is FREE and will find duplicate images:

For pictures it depends on what you want to do. The above will find

true binary duplicates. If you want an application to find images that

are similar or appear to be duplicates then you need a program that can

compare images. If that is what you want post again.

Hi, Sansa User.

 

I downloaded that program and thank you for the hint. It seems to work just

fine for pictures.

 

I just would love to have ONE Program that will search Photos, documents and

files.

 

This one does apparently only Photos.

Indeed. My guess is that you will find it difficult to find a single

GUI program which does all of those things. May be necessary to go

for a file compare utility like Tadzio's File Compare here:

http://www.tadzio.com/tfc/index.html

(webpage in German but program supports English):

 

"Tadzio's File Compare 2.21 is a small, fast side-by-side file compare

utility for Windows NT and Windows 95. Character mode application,

designed as a stand-alone program or plug-in for ZTreeWin.

Sophisticated file resync mechanism, capable of comparing very large

files."

 

I have it installed as a standard plug-in to ZtreeWin and it works

well. It compares files in bits/bytes mode.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Since I speak and read German, I went to the website and read it all.

 

It seems too much of the old DOS days, which I also remember well, but after

some and long hesitation did leave behind and I do not want to go back

there either.

 

Nowadays the visual is king, I guess and it does make thing easier for

windows and its many programs, I guess too.
