Re: Recycle Bin Comparison

There is no need to restore any files from the Recycle Bin. Sure, you can compare. Just open the Recycle Bin (C:\RECYCLER) from the folder tree & add it to your Search Path. Add the the other path in question & compare. Content would give the most accurate results. Name would not work becaus...

Re: feautre request - Exclude folder

OK, neat, but not exactly intuitive. And now I understand what it means when you go to drag a subfolder of an already existing folder into the Search Paths box & it says, "This folder is already included in the (Within C:\Example\). Do you want to specifically exclude it from the search?&qu...

Re: failure to detect duplicates

Re: DC 2.1.0-Error setting up folder tree

Only guessing ... Run CHKDSK. See If that competes without mentioning any problems. As a test, copy DuplicateCleaner.exe & lang_XX.ini into a new directory, then click on DuplicateCleaner.exe. If that works, then I'd suspect an issue with your existing DuplicateCleaner.settings file? Only guessi...

But on the right, if you click the 'Select Folder' icon, you are shown a standard Windows style dialog, including Entire Network, where you should be able to browser to your NAS.
