However, several hundred of those were image files for use on MacOS and unreadable (in a folder from a previous GOTD BundleStorm v2 offer), so they apparently "matched" as blank pictures.Īfter adding that particular folder to the exclusion list, a rescan then found 257 files in only a few seconds. Initial scan took a little over a minute to scan about 78GB of 68 thousand files in 1200 folders on a conventional hard drive D: and found many legitimate matches.
I still like the program, but I'm pretty irritated and not willing to run large scans if it's unreliable, and super glad it was free to try. This program offers an option for you to manually save the results, but really, the program should protect itself from its own mayhem. I have some duplicate finder programs that must be doing an autosave as they work, because when they crash, which sometimes happens, you don't have to run the entire scan again. When I brought the program back up, you must start from scratch. Click on retry to have the process wait while attaching a debugger manually or click on cancel to abort the JIT debug request." I thought that might take me back a step to get to original message - but it did not. Then got the message "No registered JIT debugger was specified. I didn't want to lose an hour and a half of work, so I clicked to debug.
Some of the files selected for deletion were not the ones I wanted to delete, so as I scrolled down the list of files, re-checking the boxes, I got about half way through and received an error message - I could either EXIT or debug. WHOA!! So, I just ran a very large scan that took quite awhile.
