Sir, an explanation before the questions: we are comparing 2 types of files: *.pdf and *.tiff. Where the filenames are duplicated (& both types of files are present), we want each to be removed. I use we/us to refer to both me & my supervisor.
1. How do we get the program to reset EVERYTHING to default values? (I had initial trouble with selection of the folders. We want very limited folders to be covered. 2.is there anything to be set regarding the file types? 3. Obviously, are there any thing you can help with the folder selection on input and output? We prefer the same folder for both. 4. There were some *.tiff & *.pdf files in there with the duplicate file name which surprised us very much! This is the most important question, because it will take us an inordinate amount of time to fix by hand for several thousand files!

The file "config.ini" contains all settings. Just delete or rename this file.1. How do we get the program to reset EVERYTHING to default values?
The file should be stay at this folder: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\AllDup
If you only want to compare pdf and tiff files you have to set up two exclusive file filters with "*.pdf" and "*.tiff"2.is there anything to be set regarding the file types?
I don't understand your question exactly, so can you please be more specific about it?3. Obviously, are there any thing you can help with the folder selection on input and output?
