With all that said, AllDup is an excellent powerful duplicate file finder for Windows. Second, an option to match partial file names as well.

It would be useful if you could display two images side by side to determine if they are indeed identical or which has the better quality. While that is the case, only one preview is shown at a time. Two areas could use improvement: first, the preview option is handy as it shows a preview of the file directly in the interface when enabled. While it is possible to ignore most of them and get great results, it is necessary to go through some of the menus such as file filters before you run scans as you may end up with no or only partial results otherwise. It will take some time before you get used to all the features that the program offers. If you save search results you can load the results at a later point in time. Search results can be saved and exported to a txt or csv file. The context menu displays other options, for instance to add a file to the ignore list, to open it on the local system or to select all files of the same path as well. Once you have select one or multiple files you right-click on the selection to display a context menu with options to delete the selection. Other filters of interest allow you to remove files of select folders from the listing or expand all groups automatically. A click may select all files but the first one for instance or all files but the one with the shortest name. Probably the most useful ones are the file selectors in the last toolbar as it enables you to automatically select files.

Move the mouse cursor over an icon to get a tooltip which hints at what it does. The results window looks like an icon editor on first glance as it displays several icon toolbars at the top. While that speeds up the scan, it ignores other file types you may be interested in such as flac, doc or avi. The program scans only the following file types by default: bmp, gif, jpeg, jpg, mp3 and png. Search Options for instance allows you to enable the scanning the contents of zip and rar files, and to exclude files that are larger or smaller than a defined size.įile and folder filters on the other hand allow you to exclude files and folders from the scan, or turn things around and only include select files or folders in the scan.
