    HANK2  I paid for it and use it, Pismo (900mhz) and more recently Mini Intel.

    Still, what I wish for needs either a smarter user (-: or better workflow with the software.

    Wish:

    Find all the files that are dupes.

    Then note which folders they're in.

    Then show me all the _folders_ that contain one or more identical files.

    Show the folders that are identical content.

    Let me shuffle files until I have eliminated the dupes and left all the files in the one folder I want to keep.

    Now, I just end up with lots of folders that are almost the same, one file may be duplicated.

    Yes, if I'd done backups in a more organized way since the first CP/M 8" floppy machine I started with, I wouldn't need this. Who knew?  (Version 1.4.2)

    STEVE FRAWLEY  This amazingly powerful program has saved me many, many hours of tedious and almost impossible work. This update allowed me to find and delete almost 1000 duplicates in an iPhoto Library (new iLife '08 ver. 7.0.2) out of almost 35,000 after I had merged two libraries.

    An earlier version removed over 5,000 exact duplicates in an iTunes Library close to 100,000 songs.

    It also updates the programs' proprietary database to reflect the deletions. Be sure to 'delete' the dupes (Scary, but the items remain in the trash for recovery for backup reassurance until you empty the trash!). Merely 'moving' files messes up the program update function built into Tidy Up!. That integration with iPhoto and iTunes is invaluable. Beware some operations that update those databases can be time-consuming.

    The Author's support has been fantastic also. The program is flexible for many applications regarding extensive complicated file comparisons, locating duplicates on various drives and generally saving lots of drive space.

    Remember, however, that what this program does is very powerful and SOME ACTIONS CAN'T BE UNDONE so if you screw up, you are the one responsible! BACK UP VALUABLE FILES BEFORE PROCEEDING!!!!!

    P.S. RTFD  (Version 1.2.10)

    CKSY  Best available program on macupdate-

    I tried others like disk image detector -

    tidy up does more and FASTER.

    interface may seem a little complex but it just takes a minute or two to go through the help guide and you will see it is logical and comprehensive. the wizard is great idea.

    Also, SPEEDY reply to help - got registered yesterday on a Sunday night - ran into problem - got answer this morning.  (Version 1.2.2)
