1120822 2010-07-21 01:44:00 So we've shifted all my wifes files from her Toshiba laptop running Win7 to my Macbook which we're going to re-purpose as her main machine. The problem is somehow a whole lotta files from her My Documents folder also ended up in her My Pictures (We checked and it's like that on her Win7 machine so it's nothing wrong with how I copied it). :badpc:

Long story short, copies of everything that was in My Documents and My Music is now also in My Pictures. Some of them have the same foldername so things are a little mixed up...

Basically we're after a duplicate file finder which will go through and prune the excess out for her, ideally not just by filename (Coz her Camera names the photos all the same, and that'd be disasterous to lose them), but by the content too.

Any thoughts / suggestions appreciated

Cheers


Chill.

Thank you for your interest in Duplicate File Finder!

Duplicate File Finder is a tool that locates duplicate files on in
one or more paths. Unlike other utilities that only check file
names, Duplicate File Finder performs a binary comparison of file
contents and can locate files that are alike regardless of names.
The scan can be defined by path, file mask(s), and (optionally)
with complex filters for size/date/attribute. Results can be
copied to the windows clipboard or saved to a tab delimited file.
Functions to delete files, launch Windows Explorer, and show file
properties are available. You can also launch a file in the
results list by double clicking.
