Known and unknown options of Clone Remover (the second part)

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

In the last post I’ve told about the appointment of the options connected with duplicate files search. In this post I’ll tell about the options being responsible for duplicate files removal.

EXECUTE FILE. The option starts the duplicate file chosen by you. Eventually should you know what file is going to be deleted :)?

SELECT. It chooses the found files.

SELECT COPIES. It chooses the found duplicate files.

SELECT AUTOMATICALLY. It selects by certain criteria: by creation date (for example, new one), modification date and size (for example, the smallest one). Besides you can filter data on folder containing duplicate files and file type. It allows choosing only the file types you consider to be unnecessary for the removal.

SELECT ALL. The option chooses all the files found by you in a concrete folder.

CLEAR ALL. It removes choosing on all files.

INVERT SELECTION. It carries out opposite actions on the choosing. If you for example have chosen any file this option allows to remove this choosing and to switch it to all other files.

SAVE SEARCH RESULT. Do you remember I spoke about mrs file keeping duplicate files search results? It is created by this option.

DELETE. The option completely deletes the files chosen by you from PC.

MOVE TO THE RECYCLE BIN. It moves the chosen files to the Recycle Bin. Remember that if the Recycle Bin size is less than size of files they are automatically removed.

MOVE. The command will be useful if you want to move files to any folder. Unlike the previous variant you risk by nothing but you don’t solve the problem of disk space clean up from duplicate files, changing only their location.

COPY. The option is similar to the previous but the mechanism is another: not movement but copying.

Known and unknown options of Clone Remover

Monday, July 21st, 2008

In this post I’d like to tell you about appointment of various options which you face in the course of work in Clone Remover. We’ll begin one after another from the moment of the program start.

FIND DUPLICATE FILES. The basic button in the first program window. It allows to search duplicate files in the following windows.

OPEN THE LIST OF DUPLICATE FILES. By means of this option it is possible to start a mrs file in which the list of the found clones (if you used Clone Remover earlier) has been kept.

RESTORE FILES MOVED TO A SEPARATE FOLDER EARLIER. If you’ve removed duplicate files in a special folder this option will allow you to move the files in another chosen folder.

SETTINGS. The button in which it is possible to set parameters of the activity in the program – language, work with system tray, animation usage.

BUY NOW. I think it’s clear. If you wish to get access to all possibilities of Clone Remover program you’d press this button.

COMPLETE DUPLICATES (FILES WITH IDENTICAL CONTENTS). It’s a button of search filtration allowing setting search for complete duplicates.

SIMILAR IMAGES. The button works with similar images that differ in resolution or caption.

MP3/OGG/WMA FILES WITH SIMILAR TAGS. The button allows to search duplicate files among musical files (for example, MP3 or WMA) which contain similar information about the track title, artist or album.

FILES WITH SIMILAR NAMES AND SIZE. If you wish to search duplicate files among files with the identical size or the name, this option is for you.

EMPTY FILES (FILES OF ZERO SIZE). I think it is clear. They are not absolutely duplicate files. Simply they are not necessary for you.

FILTER. If you think that you haven’t set all search parameters in the above-named options take advantage of this option for detailed elaboration. The filter by file mask, size, date and attributes is used.

SEARCH ZIP AND RAR ARCHIVES. The option allows carrying out also search in archives.

CONNECT AND DISCONNECT NETWORK DRIVE. The options will allow you to create the network drive on the basis of common network folder and to search duplicate files also in this drive.

Directory Size - how to manage disk space

Friday, July 18th, 2008

A modern computer is a very difficult system for management. But, as well as any system, the computer has own structure filled with numerous interrelations and hierarchies of elements – files and folders. It is uneasy to understand this system as there may be hundred thousands of only files. And there are many files being absolutely useless for you and the system but occupying the disk space. Besides, a lot of useful files are located in directories, to which they shouldn’t belong on sense (for example AVI files in Music folder). A new Moleskinsoft disk usage analyzer – Directory Size will help you to understand all these and other subtleties of the disk space organization.

Perhaps, this disk analyzer is the best one in the market. Let’s see. In the program there is a simple menu panel; all other commands are carried out in visual and user-friendly mode. The disk usage analyzer has convenient structure of windows moving on which it is possible to receive the demanded result. In the first window you receive a tree of folders and directories, in the second one – detailed structure of the analyzed folder (structure, size, quantity of files etc.), in the third one – graphic data presentation. The fourth window of disk analyzer works as a reference book and shows a current condition of the drives.

The disk usage analyzer has the powerful tool of data analysis. Besides calculation of size, creation time and file owner this tool includes sorting of data according to the different bases (for example extension), the data filter (on mask, size and file owner). For fans of visual data presentation the disk analyzer allows to change schedules and diagrammes of disk usage to their taste. You can always keep the received results as CSV, TXT or HTML files.

Let’s speak about a good cleaner

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

The computer is a difficult system filled with a large quantity of files. It is practically unreal to understand all its subtleties as, probably, in human body ones. There is one more thing uniting these two systems – human organism and computer – that is a presence of not only positive elements but also useless or even negative ones created by the system as a by-product. To struggle with this wastes we use medicines and doctor’s help. And what to do with “wastes” of PC activity? Obviously, it is necessary to call “doctor” too - after all who can else diagnose and destroy “wastes”? Here we will talk about the best “doctor” for today - an unique and universal program of computer dust clean up named Disk Cleaner.

As we said both in the human body and in the computer there is a set of a various wastes and useless file dust. To diagnose its presence Disk Cleaner should know its type. What types of computer dust exist?

Junk files. They are files created without your participation by various PC programs. They are absolutely useless for computer.

System files created in corresponding folders (for example, Windows recent folder or Windows temp folder). They are also unnecessary for you.

Temp Internet files. Probably, you have already guessed a principle of their occurrence in the system. Yes they are created at the work in Internet and they are useless wastes of computer activity.

Duplicate files. These are copies of files which are in the system that’s why the advantage of them is not present but the superfluous place on the disk is guaranteed.

Registry. This type of “waste” differs from the above-named ones as it presents “beaten” references to files in Windows Registry. For registry clean up it is necessary to choose “search” and Disk Cleaner will found them and offer you registry cleaning. Thus, Disk Cleaner using will be the answer to your question «how to clean registry». Why is registry cleaning so important? Because they are not only superfluous files hammered your disk space but also problems in work of Windows Registry which is very important component of the system. Registry clean up will help you to solve the problem and the question “how to clean my registry” will leave in the past.

Incorrect shortcuts. This type of “waste” is similar with previous one but formed not in Windows Registry. If pressing on a shortcut doesn’t open the program necessary to you, and informs that the shortcut doesn’t work, it is an incorrect shortcut. You can be assured that Disk Cleaner will find many tens or hundreds of such incorrect shortcuts.

As you see the PC “is rich” in superfluous wastes of the activity - not less than the human organism. But is it a problem when Disk Cleaner exists? The program will become a personal doctor for your PC, will find all its defects, suggest to get rid of them and perform all necessary work itself. You can be assured your PC will become more powerful, faster and of course more “purely”. After all it is much better to be good than patient, isn’t it?

How to restore duplicate files?

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Clone Remover’s user is interested: “I ran moleskinsoft and it removed several programs and also removed all my itune files, songs and podcasts. They were ent to the Recycle Bin. I went into the recycle bin and hit restore so I would not loose the files. I now cannot find the files and moleskin seems to not be able to find the files either. i did not delete the files because I can find them by searching but the files aren’t the ones molesof wants to return the files to their original locations. I do not know what to do and since I think if I attach my ipod to the computer it will erase all the info on the ipod I don’t know what to do.”

If you haven’t found the deleted files in the Recycle Bin though you’d removed them there it means that the general size of the deleted files has exceeded the Recycle Bin size. Or the Recycle Bin option had been disconnected. It is adjusted in OS Windows option. We regret if it is pertinent in your case.

There is an option «Move» for a safe way of duplicate files removal. With which help you can move duplicates to a separate folder. And if it will be necessary, you will be able to restore them with the help of «Restore files moved to a separate folder earlier». After you’re assured that the folder with duplicates doesn’t contain the necessary files you will be able to remove it yourself.

Concerning your iPod files. It is possible to stop automatic synchronization. For example it is there where it’s written about.

After the synchronization stop you can copy from iPod the files removed by our program.
