Duplicate Cleaner Manual - Results


Results are displayed on the 'Duplicate Files' tab.


Duplicate files
The duplicate sets are listed here. They are divided into groups. Each item in a group is classed as 'the same' according your search criteria.

You can right-click on a file to get a context menu with additional actions for the selected file.  You can perform such operations as renaming, un-hardlinking, or viewing/executing a file. Hitting F5 will refresh the list, removing any files that have been deleted since the list was generated.

Clicking on the checkbox will select a file for removal or further action.

 

Image Preview
You may view a preview image of a graphics file using the Image Preview window. Click on the View-->Image Preview Window menu to obtain the window, or click on the button in the toolbar. Click on an image file in the results list to view it. You can also view metadata information about the image file in the side panel.

 

Exporting / Importing Scan Results
At any point after the scan your results list and selections can be exported to a CSV (Comma Separated Value) text file which can be open in a spreadsheet or database program. Click on the File->Export Duplicate List menu and specify a file name. This list can be imported back in at a later stage using the 'Import CSV file' menu option - note that if any reasonable length of time has passed then a re-scan is recommended as the files may have changed.
