Good tool for finding dupes
This is a great tool for finding duplicate files, even if the filenames are different. With over 50,000 image and movie files to consolidate from several backup disks, I needed help organizing the task, and this app did the job, well enough. Initial scans can be slow depending on the density of the analyzed files, but subsequent scans of the same folders is significantly faster. Stopping and restarting a scan is simple, even if you are in the middle of organizing your files. The preferences give you enough flexibility to manage the scanning target by folder location and filename, but I would add file type (‘kind’) as well to provide a wildcard option to narrow the scan search. The option to remove a file to a folder other than the Trash would also be helpful. Lastly, the interface could display a plan of action and time estimate after the first pass, allowing the user to alter the parameters in order to improve performance or reduce the processing time through changes in folder and file selection.
