Duplicate File Finder .NET 1.0.0.1

A simple to use program that can search and locate duplicate files in any folder or drive All duplicate file finders, removers or dupe detection programs do just about the same thing. They take your files, parse them and build reports by grouping analyzed files. Then you explore the resulting list trying to figure out whats what. Many dupe detection programs can locate identical files using various search criteria: search by names, extensions, creation date, size and content.
But only the best dupe detection programs have fast and efficient algorithms for content search. Duplicate File Finder .NET is definitely one of the best. Unlike other dupe detection programs that can only do the search by CRC/MD5 or byte-by-byte comparison, Duplicate File Finder .NET uses much more efficient algorithms. It has two groups of algorithms. The first group (universal algorithms) is designed for analyzing both text files (txt, doc, rtf, html, asp, php, etc.) and binary data (exe, com, jpg, gif, mp3, mpg, etc.)
This group of algorithms is most efficient at analyzing binary files. The second group of algorithms is used for text file analysis only. The file analysis woll therefore be enhanced due to the combination of the two group of algorithms.
Main features:
- With the native operating systems look and feel, Duplicate File Finder has never been easier to learn and operate.
- You can easily choose drives/folders and subdirectories you want to search (the program has an inbuilt file manager).
- The program can find duplicates of any files: text, binary, music, video or images.
- Search duplicate files by name, extension, date, and which is the most important thing by content.
- The program is able to find not just 100% duplicates but also similar files. You can specify a percent of file similarity that will be used.
- Special algorithms allow users to easily adjust search settings: you may well search for duplicates using a fast algorithm or slower but a more efficient one.
- A flexible filtering system allows users to considerably accelerate the search process.
- Duplicate File Finder .NET is portable: it can be carried on an USB stick and runs on Windows systems without being installed (thats only true if you have the .NET Framework 2.0 or higher installed on your machine already). Installer packages are available too.
- You will be able to exclude zero-length files, system files, hidden files, files characterized by certain size, date and extension from your search.
- You will be able to search for duplicate folders (by their names).
- You may limit your search to text files, pictures, mp3 files, movies etc.
- Using advanced mark wizard, you can quickly select files for deletion, moving and/or copying.
- Advanced mark wizard can run or open files directly from the list.
- Any number of files and folders may be processed at the same time.
- The program can search for dupes over local PC and network.
- The program allows users to easily present the results in the form of clearly associated duplicates.
- The results may be sorted in different ways and exported into a text file readable by both humans and spreadsheet applications (for future comparisons).
- The program does not alter the system in any way without the users prior permission.
- You get a program, which combines features of 2-3 programs: an image duplicate finder, a text duplicate detective, a movies duplicate searcher etc...
