  "great software-- careful and thorough and accurate"

  October 25, 2011  |   By charliefrombrookline

  Version: dupeGuru 3.2.1

  Pros

  I've tried many of the dupe finders and annihilators, and this one was by far the most straightforward, flexible, and thorough.

  Cons

  None-- on other sites there were complaints that it took too long-- but doing something right does take time.

  Summary

  I ran the software last night through my 25,000 photos. It found 2200 dupes, about 3.3 gigs, and did not make a mistake among them. This is well designed software-- not quick and dirty, but slow and thorough and accurate. That was my experience last night, and I am grateful. Well worth the small investment.

  "Must have on my Macbook Pro"

  October 10, 2009  |   By mason5280

  Version: dupeGuru 2.8.1

  Pros

  This excellent program (along with two other support programs) has been an answer to a pestering problem for me, especially with the Mac habit of copying vs. moving/deleting.

  Cons

  I was a bit confused at the start of using the program about exactly which files could be deleted in the list it created, but over time and a better reading of FAQ and the website, I was able to clear up the confusion.
