Gurus,

 

Anyone out there have any good experience with a duplicate file finder

utility? I'm looking for one that comes with a personal recommendation.

Not bad. Bit odd, but works.

I use an app called PowerDesk6 and amongst its other handy features is

a file finder that can also be used as a standalone. They have both a

free and a pay version, the freebie being well endowed.

http://www.v-com.com/support/intro_PowerDesk.html

It's actually a Windows Explorer replacement with with a LOT more things

added onto it like the File Finder and single or dual panes a la the old

windows versions. It'll do Finds by path/name or folder or drive.

Faster than Windows search, too. Start with the freebie version; I

suspect you'll like it.

When you find one, be CAREFUL.

 

Sometimes certain files are in more than one place for a reason.

ACDSee it's a graphic viewer but does about anything you need done

including finding duplicate files (not just graphic extensions, all

files).

 

I still use 3.1 http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=acdsee

Many free ones out there. But remember, keep in mind that many apps want

to see the same file in their own folder.

A real file manager like Total Commander will do that, as will

dozens of other more specific dupe finding programs. Google.

 

For image duplicates or near-duplicates (adjustable), the best I

have found is called Unique Filer. It is not new (there /is/ a

new Beta version to test) and looks a bit funky but it is miles

ahead in usability and effectiveness than anything else I've

tried. It ALSO does all other files, not just images.

BTW, you should be aware SOME files are in more than one place

for a very good reason.

I've been very happy with DoubleKiller, a freeware program with lots of

options, available at:

 

http://www.bigbangenterprises.de/en/doublekiller/

 

They also have a Pro version, which isn't free, but I haven't tried it.

As someone else mentioned, though, be careful what you ask for--you

might get it, or lose it in this case. You can remove dupes that are

needed. Perhaps the others also do this, but DoubleKiller does not

automatically delete files; it displays a list of dupes and you can

decide for yourself which ones to delete.
