Re: Exception Error Message When Copying File or Folder Name

Re: Almost No support from Digital Volcano for Duplicate Cleaner

There are hundreds of different ways of using the tool. No particular way is the definitive one. It's a huge area: people run courses on how to effectively clean up collections of personal files, many using Duplicate Cleaner (google: photo organizing course) For example: https://megabytememories.com...

Re: find duplicate video lenght

Video Mode

Checkmark "match length" and set tolerance.
