AllSync & AllDup

You will need 2 source folders for this. Example: 1. Source folder: "C:\!Master" 2. Source folder: your folder with the images Copy your master image into the folder "C:\!Master". Activate the folder option "Compare only files between different source folders". This se...

The app would crash leaving no trace, no debug window appeared and the output console displaying the problem files also disappear.

When checking the log file i.e. AllDup4.txt, there's no record as the output file only gets updated if a scan is completed i.e. not crash.

Hi, AllDup would fail given certain archive type i.e. RAR. When investigating which exact file failed the entire search, I noticed the output log does not capture the scanned file process periodically. It would only save after the scan is completed. But a bad file causing AllDup to fail would never ...

What does "some files not exist" means? the manual doesn't have any explanation of this option.

For instance, if a pair is in different sub-folders, does this option filter out the match?

Should I leave it un-checked?

This option is useful when you search multiple source folders and some files not exist in all source folders . Don't understand the bolded part. The only reference to the concept of "source folder" is under Comparison Method. Is it safer/best to "Compare files from all source folders...

Thanks, I understand now. But there's also "Remove all groups with files not exist in all source folders" under Search Options.

What exactly does this option filter out?

Is the following correction? 1. all commands under Remove, just clean up results to make it look nicer, they never delete any files 2. This new command removes the group(s) that are populated with purely compressed files 3. The use case is to focus on differences btw compressed and uncompressed, not...

Can someone help me understand in plain language what this means? Tried the manual but it just re-iterates. Thanks.

1. Thanks 2. Zip format 4. I checked again, some or if not all files stored under AllDup/temp/607907468F8 remained. Do these files contribute to faster re-run? Personally, I'd trade cheap HDD space for scarce CPU resources despite this is the least efficient form of indexing. 5. Is there a way to ad...

To save space I've compressed files and introduced the following problems for AllDup: 1. Open file or folder location no longer worked, if an entry is a compressed file 2. Deletion on compressed doesn't work, even if the compressed only contain one file; sometimes (but not all of the time) deleting ...

The original request of removing a complete folder can already be accomplished by the "select all files inside the folder structure of this file". Since the feature cannot remember or guess the folder that would be selected, it'd major pain for users when processing a high number of folder...

The issue with using metadata to dedup similar is there's high number of false positives. Currently, AllDup does not allow for fast or easy sorting to find the needles in the haystack. Unless one is willing to export and build Excel View for each specific purpose. Secondly, duration test given ident...

Does the remove non-existing actually scan the disk and remove just the result's orphaned reference? looking at the help file and there are no further details. Suppose there are 3 similar files in a group. If I moved 1 file from original folder (using Windows Explorer), and click on remove non-exist...

Currently, there's no way to refresh the result to reflect the underlying dataset change. It's also infeasible to re-run some search as it may take a few ten hours. Is it possible: 1. F5 to refresh the entire result set, only based on file availability/un-availability i.e. removed/moved files, witho...

Maybe we will add a multi-column sorting style like this: https://www.grapecity.com/wijmo/demos/G ... umnsorting

Yes please and thank you. The FlexGrid would put AllDup way ahead of the curve.
