dupeGuru PE F.A.Q.
What is dupeGuru PE?^top^dupeGuru Picture Edition (PE for short) is a tool to find duplicate pictures on your computer. Not only can it find exact matches, but it can also find duplicates among pictures of different kind (PNG, JPG, GIF etc..) and quality. What makes it better than other duplicate scanners?^top^The scanning engine is extremely flexible. You can tweak it to really get the kind of results you want. You can read more about dupeGuru PE tweaking option at the Preferences page. How safe is it to use dupeGuru PE?^top^Very safe. dupeGuru PE has been designed to make sure you don't delete files you didn't mean to delete. First, there is the reference directory system that lets you define directories where you absolutely don't want dupeGuru PE to let you delete files there, and then there is the group reference system that makes sure that you will always keep at least one member of the duplicate group. What are the demo limitations of dupeGuru PE?^top^In demo mode, you can only perform actions (delete/copy/move) on 10 duplicates per session. The mark box of a file I want to delete is disabled. What must I do?^top^You cannot mark the reference (The first file) of a duplicate group. However, what you can do is to promote a duplicate file to reference. Thus, if a file you want to mark is reference, select a duplicate file in the group that you want to promote to reference, and click on Actions-->Make Selected Reference. If the reference file is from a reference directory (filename written in blue letters), you cannot remove it from the reference position. I have a directory from which I really don't want to delete files.^top^If you want to be sure that dupeGuru PE will never delete file from a particular directory, just open the Directories panel, select that directory, and set its state to Reference. I want to mark all files from a specific directory. What can I do?^top^Enable the Power Marker mode and click on the Directory column to sort your duplicates by Directory. It will then be easy for you to select all duplicates from the same directory, and then press Space to mark all selected duplicates. I want to remove all pictures that are more than 300 KB away from their reference file. What can I do?^top^
I want to make my latest modified files reference files. What can I do?^top^
I want to mark all duplicates containing the word "copy". How do I do that?^top^
