Dupeguru newest11/14/2023 ![]() Most recently, dupeGuru has been totally revamped to make a much slicker app. It ignores files under 30MB by default although you can deactivate this. It also has a habit of missing some duplicate files from time to time. Sometimes dupeGuru selects files which it thinks are duplicates but in reality are not so be careful what you allow it to delete. However, it can still be confusing which files are duplicates and which are not. dupeGuru saves you time and does its job extremely quickly. Either way, if you opt to try Czkawk, it seems prudent that you run some tests on data you don't care about first.However, if some duplicates are not as clear as others, dupeGuru uses a special algorithm which can mark out which files genuinely are separate and which ones are just similar thanks to the Power Marker. So I am not clear from the comments whether this was a bug / unexpected behavior of the program or some misunderstanding on the part of the user. I know one page I came across for it did mention a "Preview" button, so it is possible that there are different actions and only preview makes no changes. There's also at least one issue to be aware of: a user in the linked thread reported that " Czkawka will just delete all copies of a file without warning, unlike FSLint". However, I think at least one of the linked projects may require manually compiling, unless you are ok with flatpaks and the like. I wouldn't hold my breath as the dev - pixelb - has already stated "I don't really have time for TBH." and recommended czkawka as a more modern replacement). ![]()
