Editor's review of Duplicate File Detective
stars
- "Duplicate File Detective"
- Version reviewed: Duplicate File Detective 2.2
It's simple to browse and select locations to scan, and you can create and save projects for future use. File masks and filters are provided to search for certain file types, such as image files and MP3s. Likewise, Duplicate File Detective includes a built-in hash calculator for computing checksum values. In our tests, redundant files were uncovered fairly quickly and placed alongside the original files. The program includes several options to manage files, including opening, renaming, moving, or deleting them.
Summary reports are available in CSV, HTML, and XML formats. Our only complaint is its 15-day trial period, but aside from the demo restriction, this application brings an impressive array of options to keep your hard drive's duplicate-free.

Version: Duplicate File Detective 2.2
"nice application for finding file duplicates"
Pros: has nice statistical analysis of files types being duplicated, similar to ShowSize PE 5.0.2
Cons: once the file columns are clicked, it is hard to determine the duplicates groupings (although this can be done via the hashcode column).
does not appear to find as many duplicates as Easy Duplicate Finder - See 1 user review Write review
