I want to exlude directories like venv, ,git, .vscode etc

I can exclude them one by one manually, but it would be nice to be able to exclude *\venv *\.git and *\.vscode etc.

There are too many problems. Look at this forum

I have suffered from many of the problems listed. However, I have my own problems. Duplicated Cleaner 5 does not open into a GUI. If I try again, it says the DC5 is already open. No GUI!. I must reset my computer to fix this sometimes. Logging out and logging back in doesn't always fix this. I have ...

Re: Finding duplicates in zipped or other compressed formats is EXTREMELY SLOW!

Months later and nothing has been done. I do not use the treat .zip files like folders because Duplicate Cleaner DOES NOT treat .zip files like folders. A folder can be protected. A .zip file cannot. What pisses me off is losing a file from a .zip file. A .zip file is often a snap shot of files that...

Re: Deleting duplicate files in OneDrive. How?

Note that if you are comparing file contents the file files will be downloaded locally to your PC, taking up space. Yes, I don't see that as a big problem. There are options to save the OneDrive info on disk or keep in the cloud. If you keep it in the cloud, I find that DC5 will time out on larger ...

Re: Finding duplicates in zipped or other compressed formats is EXTREMELY SLOW!

After 6+ hours I gave up . I manually did what I suggested above. It took about 15 minutes to extract the .zip and .7z files into two separate temporary folders. The Duplicate Cleaner Pro then found the duplicates in the two folders quickly. It then took me some time decide which duplicates to delet...

Re: Hardware Acceleration options for DC5 Video comparison function.

Writing code for these is a challenge because they are yet another instruction set and development system. The GPUs won't help much if the files are all on disk. The disk is...

Re: Finding duplicates in zipped or other compressed formats is EXTREMELY SLOW!

I am doing a test. I have two compressed files alone in a tmp directory. One is a 7z file and the other a .zip file but both have similar files in them. The .zip file is an older version of the .7z file. The .zip file is 20 MB and the 7z file is 15 MB. I am finding the duplicates in both files and i...
