02 Apr 14 - 10:11 AM (#3614559) Subject: Help - Duplicate Files From: GUEST,MikeL2 Hi My wife is an inveterate photo snapper. She takes pictures all the time. Of course now she has almost filled up her computer with the huge number she has. If that were not enough she copies and duplicates and triplicates etc etc and has them in unsorted and un-indexed files and folders all over the place. I have a program that finds duplicates but her Folders/files are huge. Does anyone know of a free program that will go in at a Folder/file level,rather than at the hard disc eg C/ in my case? I am sure that some of you photographers will be able to help. Cheers MikeL2 |

02 Apr 14 - 04:00 PM (#3614660) Subject: RE: Help - Duplicate Files From: GUEST,CupOfTea at work How 'bout putting 'em all in one place, then sorting by date & time taken and size - if she hasn't changed any, you'll easily see duplicates. |

Besides it is easier for me to do it than to try to explain to her. lol Cheers Mike |

03 Apr 14 - 09:58 AM (#3614892) Subject: RE: Help - Duplicate Files From: MikeL2 Hi Bert How are you ?? I have Auslogics free version too. But as far as I can work out it will only scan for dupes at Disc/C. level. I want to try to scan at individual folder level if I can. Thanks for the comments though. Regards Mike |

03 Apr 14 - 10:20 AM (#3614902) Subject: RE: Help - Duplicate Files From: MikeL2 Hi GUEST Cupofteaatwork Yes I guess your suggestion would merge all the files into one place, but wouldn't that be just the same as having them as I have now in DiscC/.?? Or am I missing something?? Cheers MikeL2 |

03 Apr 14 - 11:15 AM (#3614935) Subject: RE: Help - Duplicate Files From: Bert Mike, If you go to the left hand panel and click on disk drives, then click to expand the drive that you are interested in. You can then go in and highlight the folder or folders you need to work with. The interface is a bit clunky, so you have to bugger about, clicking things on and off 'till you get the hang of it. But it is easier to do than to explain. |
