It would be good to see the contents of each duplicate file displayed side by side for line by line, word by word comparison, so as to prevent inadvertent deletion.
It doesn't tell you in the ReadMe but I found it didn't care about "Customer Name" when registering.
Here's a link to the manual: http://www.dupscout.com/dupscout_manual.pdf
I do like that it has an option to replace a duplicate with a link to the original file, rather than just deleting it.
I'm not a big fan of the ergonomics. You make a profile by adding source directories, which I found annoyingly slow and also follows the way the program generally behaves in having a dialog that starts small. I think they'd be better with allowing multiple selections via checkboxes (e.g. see https://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/help/subdirectoriesandfiles.htm) and not having multiple routes and multiple levels to get there.
Also a few options (like max/min file sizes to consider, file types to look at) could be more up front rather than you having to make up rules about them, in a sub-menu, at length. Seems very enterprise-y level.
Doesn't seem to multi-task (so can't make the next profile while the current one is running).
Overall I think it's a bit of a fight to use, but with potential. They are clearly trying to deal with the usual duplicate finder issue of just burying people in files, but personally the ergonomics seem dated and it's slow to use.
P.S. I couldn't see a wizard to make profiles, IMHO they should add one if I didn't miss it. They could do worse than play with SyncBackPro (image linked above) and see how that works.
Worked well here when tried. I opted to move the dupes to an external disk rather than delete. I think that a great safety feature which makes those which delete a good deal less desirable. I know I can restore easily from backup, but it's still a lot more assuring to move the files from where they're dupes to storage to see if, in the long run, that they are truly dupes.
One function I have not found which would be enormously helpful is to be able to designate a list of priority folders that would be automatically picked (perhaps after date/time/size filtering) for the keeper item. e.g. If I have the same file in \production\graphics and a duplicate in \temp, I would always pick the former. Another way to do this is to set of a list of all folders and set priorities. When the dupes list is produced, it can then be sub-sorted this way within each group of likely dupe files.
rj sandy, Years back.....NoClone was the only software I found allowed you to select the file path / folders from which to delete duplicates... they have a trial version which you can test with
Difficile de juger ou d'évaluer un programme pareil, si il se télécharge et s'installe sans problème, s'enregistre de même , si il présente une interface claire dans le sens d'une austérité plus tourné vers l’utile que le tape à l’œil, il présente un énorme défaut , une interface exclusive en anglais, ce qui fait que les commandes (peut être évidente à un anglophone, surement pour un états-unien) deviennent plus la devinette pour une personne non habitué, déjà le simple faite de sélectionner une action révèle d'une part de chance ou de magie, s'en servir pour supprimer quelque chose ou le restaurer relève du parcours initiatique. Au final un soft que l'on ne sait pas par quel bout prendre ( pas mieux avec l'aide sur internet et la traduction de cette dernière à l'aide de Google... mais que fait l'IA de Google?)

David, j'en rajoute une couche? oui.
le programme (en y allant au culot )va sortir un listing complet (20 ou 25000 fichiers) pas juste le nom avec son doublon non non tout le chemin , complètement illisible en fait , un peu comme un bottin dans le désordre sans les nom de commune (ben se serait un peu trop fastoche) dans cette configuration cherchons simple : image .JPG en double ...j'ai dit simple? je m'en excuse. L programme est tellement disert qu'il en est inutile parce qu'impraticable.
je compare à EverythingSearchEngine (https://www.voidtools.com/) et il n'y a pas photo, rapidité tri en un temps record par nom possibilité d'avoir des vignettes , interface en français...
alors le soft a peut être de remarquables possibilités mais, lent (comparaison à everything) peu ergonomique (idem) et comme je l'ai précisé précédemment la plupars des commande du fait de la langue sont incompréhensibles.
