AcuteFinder description
|
Locate and erase all dupe files on your computer
ActueFinder is a very useful and handy application that can find all duplicate files on your PC.
You can then delete or move the files to an archive directory, thereby recover a lot of disk space taken by these extra copies.
AcuteFinder does not only take into account items like file name, size or timestamp, but reads through possible duplicates and calculates their checksums.
This way, it is guaranteed that the files are really identical, and you can delete the extra copies with full confidence.
AcuteFinder can find files that have different names, like my.doc and Copy of my.doc. If files are of the same size and have the same checksum, they are considered identical.
AcuteFinder uses by default CRC32, a 32-bit checksum, but you can choose to use MD5 hash (128-bit) as a final step in file comparison, for even more accuracy.
Option to search in ZIP-files also. The list of duplicate files can be sorted, printed, exported and acted upon. Fast and easy way to clean up your disks! Here are some key features of "AcuteFinder":
· Simple and easy to use interface
· Search Wizard for an easy start
· Many top-level folders or drives can be specified for each search
· Fast searching, especially when working with huge files
· Safe comparison of files using CRC32 and MD5 checksums
· Option to cache file CRC's for faster repeated scans
· Option to ignore file size and CRC during search (e.g. for name only duplicates)
· Option to search in ZIP-archives
· Multiple file masks can be specified with descriptive comment,
· e.g. "Image files (*.bmp;*.jpg;*.gif)"
· Quick selection of common file groups, like documents and music
· By default, at least one instance of each file will be left intact, even though you select all files in a set to be deleted
· Option to protect files found in specific search folders from deletion
· Supports all drive types: Hard disks, network, WebFolders, floppies, USB, NAS, JAZ, ZIP, CD/DVD, and memory disks
· Detailed, color-coded list of found files (path, name, type, date/time, size on disk etc.) making full use of big monitors
· Easy selection of files to work on, using checkboxes, pop-up menu and keyboard shortcuts
· Many operations on list of found files (delete, move, view, rename etc.)
· Built-in file viewer for automatic viewing of images and text

· Option to log all activity to a text file
· It offers many settings, to suit your taste
· Tool to find empty files and folders and remove them
· Tool to calculate or verify checksum for any file (CRC32, MD5 or SHA-1)

· Marking of selection can be toggled using Insert key or Space bar
· Mark all but one file pr. set
· Automatic check for updates at regular intervals
· New option: Use advanced sort for secondary column
· New option: Ignore file size during search (e.g. for name only duplicates)
· New option: Search hidden folders
· New option: Write CRC-cache data to an external database (for users repeatedly scanning millions of files)
· New option: Show CRC-cache statistics
· New option: Alternate coloring of rows for other sort orders than sets
· New option: Warn if too many files found
· Splash-screen at startup
· Double click on file to toggle marking
· Secondary sort order has been fixed to be more logical
