WinXP

(Looks like the issue is not new, at least there since 4.4.14.
I do not see the issue on Win10.)

Hmm... on a faster computer now, (not networked) Win7, following my steps above, can't really say I'm seeing an issue. When I paste the path in, there is a momentary delay before it "checkmarks" itself. But it appears that opening speed is not affected, or at least not in a noticeable way. (On my sl...

AllDup is Slow to open when a device (a folder) in the Folder list is offline. More so when there are many such offline devices. (On my slow computer), AllDup takes about 2 seconds to open. With a single offline device, it takes about 10 seconds. With multiple offline it may take 36 seconds or more....

compared byte by byte Appears that in fact, you have done a Similar Pictures compare, with aHash (99%)? Anyhow, assuming the files are in fact (byte) identical, & assuming that within each group the files are display in alphabetical order (I am NOT sure if that is the case or not?) then Select, Sel...

How are you trying to start AllDup?

Right-click the shortcut, Properties.
What does the Target: box show?


If you browse (Windows Explorer) to wherever AllDup.exe (AllDupPortable.exe) are & click on them, will AllDup run?


What version of Win10?

Confirmed - with that file.

Other files I looked at (not from your source link, with purposely changed IPTC data) compared as expected.

(I used IrfanView to write IPTC title to the files I modified.)

No files were selected. Which particular Select function did you select; All f...

I'd start small. Select only a single directory, or a few directories, on each end to get a feel for how things will work out. After you've run your scan, found your dups, select a file that is on J:, then right-click context-menu, Select all files inside the folder structure of this file. A tree sh...

Depending on what follows the ), you might be able to get away with: Search Method -> File name -> Find similar file names with one of the Algorithms listed there (check the Help for specifics). (If the Ignore options allowed RegEx... but they don't.) (When I first looked at this thread, yesterday, ...

At what point?
As a part of the initial file search process?
As part of selection process of the results?

Crash on pasting Source Folder Or something like that. I had pasted a folder, from context-menu, Paste from clipboard. Ran a scan. Double-clicked the folder name to revise it (set it to its' parent). Ran a scan. Was thinking that was kind of convenient... Double-clicked the folder name to revise it ...

Error Report, Errors ;-). I think. Had a "crash". Error Report popped up. Quick look at the report, then clicked Save. Wasn't sure what was supposed to happen at that point, whether I'd get a save dialog or just what? Anyhow, seems the report was saved, automatically. (Maybe that part is automatic?)...

Look like, by default, the renamed files would be named with the same name/extension, prefaced by "DUPLICATE ". So: xyz.mp4 -> "DUPLICATE xyz.mp4" Do a search for files of the same size that you have "lost". Do a search for files of the same date that you have lost. Do a search for files that have D...
