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) |
