DupeKill Changelog

What's new in DupeKill 1.2 Beta

Feb 20, 2020
  • Added: 'Export Scan...' button (on the right above the file list) to dump the results of a scan to a .csv before executing any actions.
  • Changed: Now storing the version # in the assembly information.
  • Changed: Small mod to the 'descriptive name' scoring.

New in DupeKill 1.1.1 Beta (Nov 19, 2019)

  • Fixed: Bug in prefer/discard folder logic.
  • Fixed: Regression in 'most descriptive' scoring code.

New in DupeKill 1.0 Beta (Nov 19, 2019)

  • Added: Blake2B hash function; in most cases it's faster than even SHA1 and md5 while providing a vastly larger address space. This is the new default hash, no more worrying about those damn SHAttered pdf's :)
  • Added: Extra warning in case the user has selected all extant copies of a file for deletion.
  • Added: You can now drag a folder to the app to start scanning it. (Files too, it'll scan the parent folder.)
  • Changed: Better progress bar(s). Also we now use a wait cursor during the 'execute actions' work.
  • Changed: New requirement: we now target version 4.6.2 of the .net framework to take advantage of long-path aware API's. The older version supporting .net 4.0 will remain here: https://cresstone.com/apps/DupeKill/DupeKill_v0.8.zip#oldVersion
  • Fixed: Some improvements in data entry & tab navigation on the 'advanced criteria' form.

New in DupeKill 0.8 Beta (Jul 10, 2017)

  • Added: Major feature: advanced criteria scans can be configured via the 'address bar' drop-down.
  • Added: "Include subfolders" is now a remembered setting.
  • Added: New option in settings to remember recent scan paths.
  • Added: New option in settings to sort scan results by size or # of dupes. (On-demand sorts may be next, but are not easy due to the potential size of scans)
  • Added: "Copy all info" command file list context menu (keyboard Ctrl+Alt+C). The following information about the selected items is copied to the clipboard (tab separated): full path, file size, creation date, modification date, file signature, action
  • Fixed: list no longer flickers on action change.

New in DupeKill 0.7 Beta (Dec 30, 2016)

  • Added: Symbolic link code finished and activated.
  • Added: Ctrl+mousewheel zooming.
  • Added: Some keyboard shortcuts for buttons, check the tooltips.
  • Changed: Settings for window position now stored in a sane way.
  • Fixed: Turned off single-instance limit.
  • Changed: Start with windows removed (another setting inherited from the template that didn't make a lot of sense, since we're mostly running on-demand.)

New in DupeKill 0.6 Beta (Aug 18, 2016)

  • Fixed: Now ignoring reparse points & symbolic links.
  • Added: Settings dialog updated (links in about textbox and start menu shortcut option)

New in DupeKill 0.5 Beta (Aug 18, 2016)

  • Fixed: item coloring regression.
  • Added: file creation/modification date columns
  • Added: column sizes remembered

New in DupeKill 0.4 Beta (Aug 18, 2016)

  • Added: Choices for hash algo added to settings; also added hash benchmark option to see what's fastest.
  • Some optimizations
  • UI tweaks

New in DupeKill 0.3 Beta (Aug 18, 2016)

  • Changed: Now using FindFirstFile/FindNextFile via pInvoke instead of Directory.EnumerateFiles/FileInfo; Because on network drives FileInfo is slow
  • Added: Abort button to cancel active scan
  • Added: Space savings from perspective deletions now shown.
  • Added: Shell integration now avalible in settings.
  • Added: Size is now shown under the id; still not entirely happy with how this looks.
  • Fixed: Can now delete read-only files.
