I do question the long term value of the app, once you clean up your drive how many times will you use it, for that reason I question the price, I just seem to many set the $20 arbitrarily. Doc folder was able to display PDF, XLS and some, but not all DOC files (not sure why, might be older DOC file formats). It displayed pics and videos that I had in those folders. Quick view allows you to visually compare the files from within the program, no need to launch Preview or something else. Quickly scanned a photo folder that I knew had many duplicates 15,115 files took 2:33 minutes to scan. I say appears as nothing on the website gives any information about this (hint hint), but so far I haven't encountered any limitations.
DECLONER MAC TRIAL
So far so good, appears to be a fully functioning non-crippled trial for up to 30 days. However, on the whole I like it and will be buying it. in Finder) and then try deleting it in DeCloner it hangs rather than just tell you the file is no longer there. Also, if you mistakenly delete a file outside of DeCloner (e.g. Couple of bugs - the 'safe mode' setting seems to be reversed (when I tick Safe Mode it moves files to the Trash, but when I uncheck it, it then moves files to the safe folder?). Would be nice if it had the ability to compare two user specified folders, rather than just scanning a single location for duplicates, but that's easy enough to work around. The website says it uses a cryptographic algorithm to compare files and it certainly found duplicates which had different names/dates. Also I like the fact that you can move duplicates to a specific folder rather than delete them, just in case.
DECLONER MAC PLUS
The preview of the selected file at the bottom is a nice touch, plus you can see a larger preview if you want. Nice intuitive interface and easy to see what you're doing. Scanning is quite quick - took less than 30 seconds to scan a folder containing 43,500 photos (about 80Gb of data). Nice little app that does what it says on the can. So maybe get yourself TechTool or iDefrag if you have gigabytes of useless duplicates like me.
DECLONER MAC PRO
TechTool Pro 5 arranged that perfectly tough. The drive was spinning constantly and everything was dead slow. It would be nice to be able to see the date of the files on the main interface (with size, count and total) instead of having to select each file to see it.īeing able to slide the size, count and total all the way to the right to see really long file names would be my second request.īut be aware: it fragmented my hard drive severly after I deleted much of those duplicated files. You have Trash, Reveal in Finder and QuickLook buttons next to each file names, which is very handy. Lots of MP3s already in iTunes but still wandering around in various folders. Well, Decloner found for about 15GB of duplicates! Sometimes, I could have 5 times the same file in different project folders. I knew I had severals but nothing alarming. Wonderful little app! I downloaded Decloner for fun as it was 50% off on MUPromo to see how many duplicated files it could find on my hard drive.
For your convenience Decloner includes Sparkle auto-update feature. Decloner can process large number of files on internal or external disk drives.
You can define file name exclusion patterns, and ignore small files. When determining which files to delete, you can see their information and use QuickLook to examine the contents just like you would do it in Finder. The unique virtual Decloner Trash acts as a staging area for the files you remove before they are actually deleted. All removed files are moved into the Trash so you can always restore them if you change your mind. Decloner never deletes anything permanently. Decloner then will show you the found duplicates and help get rid of them safely. You can scan multiple folders, iPhoto and Aperture libraries. Decloner has a simple straightforward user interface where you only need to choose where to scan, and Decloner will find duplicate files in those locations and all the subdirectories.
It uses SHA-1 algorithm to reliably determine if files are identical. Decloner helps you find and eliminate duplicate files on your Mac.
