There is currently no way with Duplicate Cleaner to set up a scan with file extension as the only duplicate criteria. This is partly a safety feature - grouping files as duplicates just by their extension means that the files themselves could be unique, and could result in deletion by the unwary use...

There isn't a way to turn this behavior off currently.
It's a good idea though, and I've added this to the 'to-do' list! Thanks.

Not sure. I haven't got a 3TB drive to test. I'm logging this as a bug though - and will look at getting the way it scans for folders in the directory tree browser changed to be the same method it uses in the scan process itself (which seems reliable)

You should save at least one from each grouping! The program will warn you if you try and delete all copies in a group. Always be careful, and remember to back up first!

Your screenshot is unreadable, btw

Thanks for the info. They seem to be locking each other out of the drawing API when drawing the form. Very strange, I haven't found any similar problems that other people have had with .NET apps. Will keep digging.

They aren't identical files - they are actually different sizes. EXIF data is blank so it could be something like a slight variation in compression or a tiny degradation in detail (if a file was loaded and saved twice the jpegs would lose quality)

Hi. This isn't currently possible. The batch jobs will just run on the complete folder or single file targetted.

However it was the original intention to have the batch scripting more flexible to allows this type of functionality so I'll add this to the development wish list!
thanks.

The warning is about deleting from Groups with a group number > 100, rather then 100+ groups selected.

I understand about your need for thorough testing - I've messaged you some information about licensing.
