Feature suggestion- Large File Finder

Post by hgerald »

I think a "Large File Finder" mode would be a good feature to add to Duplicate Cleaner.. This would not search for duplicates; just search for files larger than whatever the user specifies. If you have any video editing software on your computer, they tend to leave huge files behind that are often not needed.. Thanks!

This is do-able in the upcoming version 4. You can set an input path to find unique files as well, and then you just need to specify a large size threshold for the search.

(Outside of Duplicate Cleaner) WizTree will give you your 1000 largest files in a flash (wiz?).

When I posted earlier, it didn't exist, but it does now ...

"Everything" version 1.4.0.702b

Earlier versions were not very efficient is sorting by file size, but this new Beta now has an option to store size (& other metadata) in its database, so sorting by size is no longer an issue.
