Buglog: Files that cannot be read or are corrupt get an md5 of -1 and are grouped. Need to ignore these.

Hi there, great software, thank you for developing it.
On whish that I have:
Please, implement an expicit search mode. I.e. I would like to search the content of one folder onto a much larger archive-folder but without having this archive matched against itself or the input folder matched against itself.
That would be the missing link in between Araxis-Merge and your software.
Cheers
Gunnar

Hellp,

It is a greate software. I'm using since version 1.3.

I do have some suggestions (for 1.3 and 1.4 versions):

Interface
=========
1. Some dialog boxes could be redisigner or at least smaller (specially the selection assistant dialog box and file search/audio search frames: less wider buttons and frames)
2. There could have some keyboard accelerators (using ALT key)
3. It seems that all tab orders are not correct.
4. CTRL+TAB should change dialog tabs
5. ESC key should close any current dialog box
6. option for not show Splash Screen (About box)
7. when Same File Size or content, the "selection for file size" should be disabled. The same for Same Date option.
8. Could be poassible to rearrange columns (with draging and drop, for instance)

Compatibility:
=============
6. Should also protect 64-bit %ProgramFiles% folder
7. Will it work under Windows 2008 and Windows 7?
8. Why not provide a 64-bit version for faster operations?
It may be pretty simply to just set the compiler to generate 64-bit code instead of 32-bit code...

UFA!

That's it

Thanks for the attention.

I installed on XP SP3 and it runs ok. On a minimal install of XP SP1 it complains it can't find md5.dll when it gets to actually checking file contents. I tried moving the dll to windows\system32 but it still didn't find it. The SP1 box also has two HDDs in case that is relevant. Otherwise, looking good so far. Good job!

Couple of things that might be useful - 1) add a button or right mouse to "remove selected items from duplicate list" 2) add a refresh button to check that files on the duplicate list still exist and remove from the list if they don't (ie you find a huge tree and delete it through explorer, or you don't have write access to a share and delete it on the server - so need the list updating without all the hash calculations...)

Thanks Fabio and Aid for the comments - will look into getting some of this into 1.4.

XP sp1 may not have the C runtimes for the MD5 DLL. Looking into getting these statically linked at compile time. In theory it should work with the runtimes here-

Thanks for the info on the runtime, that makes sence.

Couple of other observations; the image preview button opens a blank (white) box. Right clicking image preview works fine. Also if you stop a "go scan" then the dupe list is empty (even if some were reported in the dialog), but the scaned files and zero length lists are populated.

Also, I love the "insert path" button in the new Master selection assistant - similar buttons could be useful by the two fields(file/path) just above also.
