Clone Remover: How it works (the second part)
In the last part I described base functions of Clone Remover you face when start the program. In this part I’ll tell about some functions more in detail. I remind Clone Remover works with 5 duplicate file types: complete duplicate files, similar images, music files with similar tags, files with similar names and size and empty files.
7. «Complete duplicate files» is an option which will allow searching for files with the identical contents. Having chosen the option you receive the guarantee that files found on your PC are absolutely identical under the contents, size, name, etc. The option allows finding absolutely identical files copies.
8. «Similar images» is an option that will help you to search for duplicate files among pictures and photos with the identical image but the various size and name.
9. «Music files with similar tags». Apparently from the name the search is carried out on musical files with similar names of songs and artists. “Parameters” under the option will allow you to choose the level of required concurrence for headings and files 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 the more search area and the lower probability of file concurrences.
10. «Files with similar names and size». The task of the option is to select files with identical size and name for search. It is necessary to remember that the option doesn’t guarantee the identical files contents therefore it is recommended to check up duplicate files manually before their removal.
11. «Empty files» will allow you to search for files with zero size.
12. In the window “filter” is accessible due to which you can sort the chosen file types on a mask (that is extension), size, date and attributes. It will allow speeding up duplicate files search but will lower search area.
13. Having chosen necessary search options and having set the filter press on “further”. Your task is to choose a search location now.
14. In the new window you can choose a location of any level and site. It is enough to pass on root folders, find necessary directories and check them. Exactly in the locations duplicate files search will be carried out. The higher level directory choice automatically means search in all lower level directories.
15. Besides search in “open” directories you can search for duplicate files in rar and zip archives. It will slow down the search but will allow to receive more exact picture of affair state on your PC.
16. Separate opportunity of Clone Remover is an installation of a network disk. The command will allow you to execute connection to the common network folder and to appoint for it a disk letter o for the further manipulation through «My computer». Thus duplicate files search now became possible on network folders.
