"Worst Software I've Ever Used"
Version: Duplicate Files Searcher 2.2
Pros
The creator offers a button asking for feedback. I honestly like that idea and wish more ppl would think like him/her. I suspect this developer is a nice person who just needs to learn the fine art of beta-testing.
Cons
* I have a state-of-the-art MAC, and I use it pretty hard, so it has a huge amount of RAM. This program must pull everything it looks at into RAM, because I it devoured it like a teenage boy at a hot dog eating contest. I run Memory Freer on my old MacBook and installed it on my big beast just for interest. It never complains. But with this program it literally popped up about once a minute saying that yet another 12-16G of RAM was left inactive. I was really impressed, but not in a good way.
* I have no graphics card issues either, but every time I touched the results panel the whole thing would freeze for at least a minute (or 6). Being a curious person, I shut down every non-essential program, but nothing changed. Each time it froze it went partially or wholly blank, only to return with fewer results. Finally it locked up completely showing no results at all.Summary
I'm a nice person, and I do not like to bash people or things, but I have to say that I could not have designed a worse program if I'd tried. I really wanted to like it, but it was spectacularly useless and an utter waste of time. I realize we are not suppose to post adds, but for this function I'll take M*CKeep*r anyday.

"If you use it be carefull"

"Fast download. Pretty simple to use."
Version: Duplicate Files Searcher 2.2
Pros
Works pretty fast. Seems to be pretty efficient.
Cons
Not as intuitive a s would have liked.
Summary
The download was quick and easy. It doesn't make sense to have two different versions at the same time. Once I figured out how to select directiories for scanning, it worked quite well

"Impressive power and simplicity.Not too much guidance."
Version: Duplicate Files Searcher 2.2
Pros
Powerful program. does what it says.
Cons
At times a bit too powerful for my my machine, and I spent a fair amount of time waiting, not knowing whether it was progressing. Also leaves the user a bit naked in terms of deciding how to maximize value, minimize risk.

"Do not need."
Version: Duplicate Files Searcher 2.2
Pros
Very efficient software.
Cons
I deleted the downloaded application and used it once only: I was scared to delete two files with same title and different text. Also I have enough memory to keep duplicates.

"Confusing and buggy, but IT WORKS!!!"
Version: Duplicate Files Searcher 2.2
Pros
IT WORKS!!!
Cons
It's really hard to get ti to work
Summary
Read the notes at the bottom of the download page. Without others' BTDT experience, I would never have figured this out. But once figured out, wow!

Cons

Summary

"Fast functionality, confusing UI"
Version: Duplicate Files Searcher 2.2
Pros
quickly identifies duplicates and provides a means to select them all while leaving one copy to keep.
Cons
UI needs help. Although I could select directories, I was never sure if I picked the correct one. This should be immediately obvious to the user. Also, I never did get the filter to work correctly.
Summary
Clearly document each feature and this would be a 5-star product. Get someone else to document the app. What may be obvious to the developer may be confusing to the consumer.
