Re: System for max speed?

I just tried DV version 4.1.4 on my SSD drive on T530 i5-3320M 2.6GHz Running windows on msata drive. Scanning windows partition on different 2.5" SSD drive that's not in use, 350,000 files, 43GB DV ran at 30 to 36% CPU utilization. Both SSDs have low utilization and speed during duplicate chec...

System for max speed?

I have several external hard drives that I will de-duplicate on a dedicated computer. I could use a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s i5-3320M with SSD, using it's USB 3.0 ports. Could I dedupe significantly faster if I got a faster desktop? What would I need without getting unneeded capacity? (buying a used on...

Re: Scan speed problem

Look at your disk utilization. Is that maxed out? Then the CPU availability won't matter.

Re: Pause only one disk while continuing to scan the other disk

Do you have 4 instances scanning the same 2 disks?
Does that improve the speed? I assumed that the slowest part was reading the drives, so that would not help. I haven't watched how much CPU the program uses.

Re: Feature request: Filter results based on keyword.

Plus an option to only apply the selection assistant command to the visible (filtered) items.

(Even now, sometimes I want to apply the result to the visible filtered cells but that can be done by selecting all and then checking "Work only on selected rows".)

Re: How to mark all except one in a -selected- folder?

Try: Selection assistant > Options > checkbox "Work only on currently selected rows"

Also, to protect a file, you can right-click "drop selected from list"

Re: Feature request: Paste a list of multiple scan locations at once.

Silly me, why don't I use the command line for that?! I haven't tried the Duplicate Cleaner command line yet. but could pass my list of folders from Excel to Duplcate Cleaner via the command line. (Although I would still like to have the ability to paste a list.)

Re: Feature request: Launch a new instance from selected items

Similarly, sometimes it would be useful to pass selected results to another program. i.e. a sync program or visual folder comparison program. (Obviously need one that accepts command line input.) Essentially have a custom export dialog where a user can enter and save (allow multiple configs): Prefix...

Feature request: Sort order of results.

(1) I'd like to be able to search by file size but still see the results by group. So that when I look at 0 byte or 43 byte files, I see them listed by group. (because I did byte by byte every file in each group has the same size). (2) I'd like to see the group with the largest impact, so sorting by...
