Clone Remover: let’s travel together (the second part)
Today we’ll continue our travel on Clone Remover and we’ll get acquainted closer with some important options of the program.
As we’ve already spoken, the base option on the greeting page is «find duplicate files». The option allows receiving the fullest representation about the program functionalities therefore let’s get acquainted to it closer.
Having pressed on the button you’ll get in a new program window which is to help you to define the type of
duplicate file which you’re going to find and delete. In the program there are five ones:
Complete duplicate files;
Similar images;
Music files with similar tags;
Files with similar names and size;
Empty files.
Certainly, before to continue our further travel, we’ll consider these types more in detail.
«Complete duplicate files» is an option which allows to search for files with the identical contents. Having chosen the option you receive the guarantee of that files found on your PC are absolutely identical under the contents, size, name, etc. The option allows finding absolutely identical file duplicates.
The next one, «Similar images», is an option that helps to search for duplicate files among pictures and photos with the identical image but the various size and the name.
«Music files with similar tags». Thanks to this option the duplicates’ search is carried out on musical files with similar names of songs and artists. “Parameters” under the option allows to choose the level of the required concurrence for headings and file names. Further you can return again to the option having chosen smaller level of tag similarity for search of other musical duplicate files. The below similarity level is the more search area and the lower probability of file concurrences are.
«Files with similar names and size». This option is called to select files with identical size and name for search. It is necessary to remember that the option does not guarantee the identical files contents therefore it is recommended to check up duplicate files manually before their removal.
The last option, «Empty files», allows to search for files with zero size.
In the window “filter” is accessible due to which you can sort the chosen file types by mask (i.e. extension), size, date and attributes. It allows speeding up duplicate files search but lowers the search area.
See you later!
