Folder-folder comparison, and pause & resume
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2009 2:23 am
Hi,
I have been using your program for many months now and find it to be the best overall package (grouping, export/import and general speed) that I could use.
Just a few suggestions:
- Folder vs folder comparison.
Say I have "Folder A" with no duplicates at all. "Folder B" is where I keep my newly acquired files.
It would be more efficient to compare "Folder B" against "Folder A", rather than compare all the files in both folders (unneccessary for "Folder A" to compare its own contents), as it currently does.
- Pause and resume function.
This is more useful for slower computers, however, there are some instances when it will take more that half a day to process the lot, even on a new machine. However, this well tie up some significant amount of computer resources when the user decides to use some other CPU and RAM intensive programs (photoshop, etc.). It would be great if you could pause the process, allowing you load up or use other programs and resume again later, if you want it to continue working overnight.
Also, is this program able to display unicode or other language character sets? I am running Windows XP, but most of my filename and directories are in Japanese.
