Suggestion - estimate of how long to wait

Post by phila »

I am currently watching the "Performing duplicate checks" dialogue. It's checking 6790 files (12.8GB). It tells me the % checked but I can't tell how long the remainder might take because it does not report either how long it's been running or when the scan was started. If this information was presented I would know when to return from my 'coffee break' to start marking and deleting.

Thanks for a great program, I'm liking more and more as I whittle away at my dups.

I've experimented with a remainder estimate but it is difficult - the estimate tends to be all over the place. Hopefully will get this working at some point!

Displaying the time taken is a good idea though - it currently only shows this at the end...

Just what are you checking, just what settings are you using, that it is taking so long (to scan)?

It can sometimes take a while depending on the type of scan/disk/network.
