fullsort added Works Offline as a feature to dupeGuru
Needed to delete 100GB of duplicates. Worked fast enough and simple. Cannot mark by creation date. Glary Duplicate Remover filtered results by default. Which worked fine, until i wanted to remove all filetypes, and that search did not finish even after hours. Probably would work great on smaller folders though. Has more marking options. Duplicate Cleaner Pro was slow but also works, and has more marking options. Easy Duplicate Finder has a paywall beyond 10 duplicates.
I see this gets only 3 stars. I rate it 5 because it's free. If you spend say 60 minutes with this software you will be pleasantly surprised. The interface and instructions could be improved somewhat but it's FREE!
dupeGuru 4.2.1 shows newer file as original with Picture mode.
dupeGuru 4.2.1 returns false matches even with 96%-99% filter hardness with Picture mode.
Users can only set filter hardness like 99% but not 99.9% with GUI.
dupeGuru 4.2.1 creates more pointless work than it solves with Images.
Decent at finding Duplicates, but the UI need some work. No mass-selection is possible which makes sorting through larger, partially duplicate libraries extremely painful
Excellent easy and simple. Does the job!
More full-featured than Wise Duplicate Finder. It will match by name, content, and/or file type. On the other hand, it starts out confusingly if you want to scan an entire drive. It's not a click-and-go. You need to type the drive in.. not a biggie, but confusing to the beginner. Also, if you start a big scan, and stop it midway.. unlike other programs, you won't get any results. On the plus side, it makes it easy to exclude folders in a lengthy tree of directories and it can save that set of directories and/or results as chosen. It seems somewhat slow, but I can't say I've made fair comparisons yet.
This has almost everything that I can ask for. It has high accuracy at detecting duplicate files. Why did I not use this sooner.
I recommend moving all duplicate files to "Duplicates" folder instead of deleting them.
