    In tag matching mode dupeGuru 4.1.0 displays more tags than Duplicate Cleaner (or any other audio comparison tool I have tried). However, Duplicate Cleaner (Pro 4.1.4) also displays embedded artwork, which dupeGuru does not. Duplicate Cleaner compares both tags and content in one pass, whereas content matching is separate from tag matching in dupeGuru. Furthermore, the content matching criteria can be adjusted in Duplicate Cleaner; in dupeGuru they are neither clear nor adjustable.

    You can replace duplicated files with sym-link or hard-link. Sometimes it's necessary to have same file in different directories and this is where dupeGuru comes in

    AntiDupl.NET can find and display duplicate images in the main graphic formats: JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP and PNG. The comparison is based on the contents of the files, so the program can find not only almost identical, but similar images.
