dupeGuru - dedicated tool for finding duplicate files

dupeGuru is a tool dedicated to finding duplicate files on your computer. The interface isn't very sexy, but it's equipped with a powerful detection algorithm that can find duplicate files, even when the names aren't exactly the same.

dupeGuru

dupeGuru is customizable, so you can define the type of duplicates you want to find. Not only can you delete them, but you can also move or copy them to another folder. You can then filter the results to act on a subset of them, e.g. all files containing the word "copy", etc.

The help file lists all the possible scan parameters you can modify. It lets you do whatever you want with your copies. Not only can you delete duplicates, but you can also move or copy them elsewhere, or export the results (HTML, CSV)...

A special "Duplicate Image Search" version and another, "Special Music File Search", are available.
