How about UNCs to search across file shares?

You should be able to add UNC's using the method above.

invert selection was implemented in version 1.3 ?

I think it could be nice if I could firs select all i.e. in c:\temp end THEN unselect all but one in each group - to avoid deleting every instance in a group. Cam I do that, or how do the "invert selection" work?
regards

-One more vote for MD5 support (This should have priority!).

-Wish deleting many files did not take soooooooo long (for 7.000+ files).

-Better international support.

Great program!!!

-Right click menu in file list area: "mark all duplicate files in same folder".

or better:

-"Select by Master Path" - implement as folder/file explorer on left side;
and right side: show only those folders(without browsing option),containing duplicates of files found in MasterPath and also listing non-dup.files and subfolders ;
and some operation buttons for right side:
1) delete duplicates in slave folder and move remaining non-duplicate files to 'MasterPath'(preserve M_P names),and delete empty folder.
2) move all files to 'MasterPath' folder(and replace M_P names),incl. non-duplicates,and delete empty folder.
3)move all files from Slave/subfolder to Slave(prefix option).
4)swap master/slave paths (highlighted one, when more than one slave folders)
5)delete whole Slave folder.
------------------------------
PS. is extra function,like "mp3 renaming-retagging" with ease of block-select-and-drag manipulation(like in MS Excel), too far from Duplicate Cleaner's concept?

And thanks!

very deep scan options:
-Comparing *.mp3 with different tags:
starting from end and if over 95..99% of bytes in two files "match", consider them as almost-duplicates?
-Identifying an erratic byte(s) in one of duplicates and alarming about it - when mostly duplicate folder shows some files with close names as non-duplicates ...

- opposite function of cleaning duplicates - creating and managing backup copies:
synchronize folders;
adjust existing file/folder locations, if moved;
move to "deleted"(unsure to completely delete) folder, "recycle bin"(sure to delete),or completely wipe those files, that do not exist in source folder at all;
replace or rename older files to "currentfilename-YYYY_MM_ DD-HH_MM_SS.extension"(filename with date/time of replacement);

possibility to display all files having the same name (eventually the same date and same size) but having different CRC.
This will help to find files having errors

Hi guys. Love the Duplicate Cleaner. The only thing is, on the .png image format doesn't show up in the image preview, and it just stays on the last image previewed, making it seem like there's more copies than their actually are. Is there anychance ya'll can get the image viewer to display .png properly? Thanks!
