Don't find duplicates!

Post by aarbogh »

Hi

For some reason Duplicate cleaner don’t find any duplicates for me anymore. I’ve used it for a while with great success (in finding duplicates). But lately (might be after latest upgrade) I don’t find anything.

To investigate I’ve copied a folder (of pictures) from my NAS to local the HD and in regular mode I put “ignore content” with additional option “Same File Name”. No filter. Still I get 0 duplicates when I scan the two folders.

I have changed many of the settings back and forth so I might have f#¤% something. Is there a default profile I could load? Any other suggestion of what I do wrong?

Check the file filter. Also check the date and size ranges are set to "Any".

To reset it to 'factory settings' you can delete the database file in

Code: Select all

C:\Users\[YOUR USER]\AppData\Roaming\DigitalVolcano\DuplicateCleaner\DuplicatecleanerPro.data
on Windows 7. (close Duplicate Cleaner first).
