Hi,
Sometimes when a lot of folders (or drives), containing lots of files are selected, the file-counting procedure takes a while. That's fine; there's nothing that can be done about that. What would be nice however is if the progress shown at the bottom which shows the number of files that have been detected, also displayed the current drive/folder that is currently being enumerated. That way, the user gets a level of progress indication (for example knowing how many drives have already been scanned/how many are left).
Showing every folder as they are scanned is probably overkill and would eat up CPU cycles with little benefit, however using a delay function to only update the status once per second to show the current folder should work great.
That would really help to know how far AllDup has gotten or if it has yet to scan that nasty, big folder containing lots and lots of files.
Thanks.

The next update will show the following infos at the status bar while scanning the source folders. Example:
Source: 1 / 2 - Files: 394 - C:\Windows\System32\...
Source: 1 / 2 - Files: 394 - C:\Windows\System32\...
