This Windows software is a powerful duplicate file finder that uses CRC32 and MD5 algorithms to detect duplicates based on file content, regardless of file name. It also identifies duplicates based on other factors, such as size and date.
DupeWatcher is a powerful and handy duplicate file finder software for Windows that operates based on user profiles. It can detect identical files using CRC32 or MD5 content match algorithms, thus making it easy to identify duplicate music or graphic files, among others.
In addition, users can detect duplicate files based on criteria such as the file name, file size, and file created or modified datetime. DupeWatcher offers a pre-configured default profile with most common settings, along with the option to exclude System, Read-only, Hidden files and zero byte files from the duplicate search. With the filter option, users can also include or exclude specific file groups or file types, or file extensions from the identical file search.
To begin the search for duplicate files, users can execute a profile based on their selection criteria. Once executed, the results are displayed in a grid, grouped according to user selections to help easily identify the duplicate files. By default, all the files in a group except the first one are marked as duplicate files, but users can override this at any time.
DupeWatcher further allows users to take action on the duplicate files with a single mouse click. This can be done for a single file, for a single group of duplicate files or all of them at once. Options include moving files to Recycle bin, Deleting Permanently, Zipping, Moving to a specified location or creating a single copy of all the duplicate files. Users can even export duplicate files reports in a format of their choice. Moreover, there is an option to delete empty folders while deleting the duplicate files.
DupeWatcher logs every activity and generates a detailed report. A summary header provides the status at a glance while the detailed section lists every action that has taken on the duplicate files. Overall, DupeWatcher is a reliable and efficient tool for identifying and organizing duplicate files on your Windows system.
