DupInOut Duplicate Finder Changelog

What's new in DupInOut Duplicate Finder 1.1.3.3

Mar 25, 2024
  • New Features:
  • Brown Skin
  • Improvements:
  • Displays photo previews with adjustable sizes during the Similar Photos scan mode for easier comparison
  • Extended fully-functional free trial period from 30-days to 90-days
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Incorrect file highlighting with the "Highlight all in this group" option (Example — if a user selects this option to highlight all files from the Group 1, it would incorrectly highlight all files that contained "1" in the Group ID, i.e. Group 1, Group 10, Group 11, and so on.)
  • After using the File Exclusion feature, the "No Action Taken" status was missing in the My Activity dialog
  • A program setting "Don't preview files larger than..." incorrectly blocked manual file previews of non-image files (Example — This setting was meant to block previews of only large images to prevent the application from being unresponsive. However, it incorrectly blocked previews of large music files which wasn't required, as they load only after the user manually plays them).
  • If a user unchecks the "Preview" checkbox while a music file is being previewed, it wouldn't auto-stop the music playback.
  • Date-Time format mismatch in the Offline (License file-based) activation approach
