Re: There are too many problems. Look at this forum

Is the program starting off screen? This can happen if you are using a multimonitor setup and are changing monitors used. Does killing the program using the task manager help?

Re: Perhaps it's time to support multithreading scanning.

Re: Feature request: jpg vs raw

There is a wizard to find image pairs - it groups image files in the same folder with the same name (but different file ext).
This could be useful in your case. It's called - "fast find image file pairs"
Note it doesn't compare by content at all - just by the name.

Re: Safe to turn off antivirus if drive previously scanned?

It should be OK - the program just reads the file as a stream of bytes (assuming you are hashing). It doesn't execute the file.

Re: Allow the Scan Tab (>) effect a scan

One thing that may help is turning on the Toolbar (settings). You'll then get a Scan button you can access from any tab.

Re: Duplicate Files, Thumbnail view, Focus/Highlighting is not obvious

Will check - I haven't managed to reproduce the F6 error so far. Will need to look at the code...

The thumbnail view is a bit of a hack and I'd like to improve the navigation if I can.

Re: Feature Request: List inaccessible/skipped folders.

Check the log file - this should list all skipped / errored files and folders.

Not sure of a program to test access to everything, sorry.
