Need to remove similar images? No problems!

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Many of you are certainly to be faced unpleasant and rather frequent problem - similar or identical images in the PC. As images I mean anything you like - photos, graphs, drawings and other files kept in such formats as GIF, JPG and PNG.

Actually there can be a lot of the reasons of such duplicates forming. For example, extensive photosession in the nature or in the rest to which casually some similar pictures have got. Or the photos downloaded from the Internet and being copies of already existing ones in the computer. But saved under other names, in other directory and sometimes having other size (that is files have the identical maintenance but various resolution). The list can be continued further, but it is already clear that images duplicates are not unpleasant things.

Certainly, the manual decision of this problem is probably but, to tell the truth, inefficiently. Only present how much you should look through files and folders to find similar or identical images! Days or even a week! Using a special software you can solve the problem for some seconds.

Clone Remover is one of the best programs allowing to find and delete duplicate files. The program has very simple and user0friendly interface, gives multifunctional decisions on work with duplicate files. At last it is very pleasant program in usage.

Images duplicates removal is one of profile functions of Clone Remover. This problem can be solved as by means of standard tools of search and removal of duplicate files (for example, thanks to such options as “Complete duplicates” and “Files with similar names and size”), and thanks to the special tool “Similar images”. The option can be chosen in the window of the choice of the search criteria. After the choice it is enough to choose the location of the search and to wait for the results (the waiting time depends on capacity of the computer and the size of search area). The received results can be removed or copied easily in a special folder.

About the advantage of folder comparison

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

In our computer activity we often have to be engaged in such boring but very important things as the disk usage analysis or the research of file-directory structure. The reason is clear - in the century of huge growth of information streams, growth of quality of information products and multimedia it becomes more difficult for modern disks to accumulate and store this information. There is too much data. That is why it is important to optimize the data keeping in the computer, correlate the volume of the disk and the requirements. The disk analysis serves for this, as its task is to understand how much space there is on the disk, how much free one, if this place is enough for current requirements, whether there is something not-used in the disk. One of the most wide-spread directions of such analysis is folder comparison.

Why is directory compare necessary? It is obvious to find out the structure of compared directories, to define degree of their similarity and necessity (or the absence of such necessity) to carry out with them some actions. Folder compare is necessary not only for informative interests but also for practical tasks. For example, you work over the joint project which results are stored in a certain directory on one computer. Clearly that the joint project cannot be spent in only one computer therefore inevitably there is a question - how to combine independent results of the joint project when separate participants continue to work over the project (and save the received results in that special folder), and then it is necessary to compare these results and define what, who and when was carried out. To compare directories is not simple without using special software. For this reason File Sync will help you. It is a new Moleskinsoft program called to compare folders and to make file synchronization.

Why this tool? As it is impossible to find more simple-in-usage and simultaneously functional utility for folder comparison. The program works in two steps: compare directories as well as makes file synchronization. Having chosen “Browse” you need to load two folders necessary for comparison (for example, the folder of the joint project on the basic computer and on separate participant’s computer) and to choose “Analyze”. The analysis will occupy some seconds. Then program will present the results of comparison – the structure of both directories, their identity and distinction. It is easy to guess, that the difference will testify to the modification of the basic folder. Certainly if folder compare shows that the folders are absolutely various in structure they are most likely to have no anything in general with each other.

The directory compare is the first step you need to do working with the software. The second step, file synchronization, is unessential and depends on your purposes and the analyzed folders. The purpose of file synchronization is to balance the structure of two directories. The program gives the chance to spend file synchronization both left to right and right to left. Differently it is possible to choose the structure of which folder will be taken as an exemplar and synchronized with the other folder.

However to compare directories and to synchronize directories is not all that File Sync can do. Separate possibility is the creation of tasks in which you can spend independent folder compare and file synchronization. Using option “New task” you can spend unlimited number of such directory compares.

New version File Sync - 1.2. Available.

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

A new version of File Sync program 1.2 has been out. In the new version there is the possibility to create the new task in which you can make file synchronization (the button New task). It is clear that you can create how much want. Thus, the principle question is solved - how within the limits of one program you can carry out the comparative analysis and file synchronization of set of various pairs of directories. The work within the tasks is spent independently.

Other innovation is the possibility of the choice of sync type: left to right, right to left or in anyway. The option can be chosen in “Project-Settings” command. The indicator of the choice of the option is shown in the bottom panel of the program window.

The new version of the program is accessible here.

Disk Cleaner - some advices about application

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Today we’re talking about Disk Cleaner, the most multifunctional Moleskinsoft program combining functions of file manager and disk cleaner.

Starting to work with Disk Cleaner define for yourselves the purposes of its usage at present. What do you want to do? To remove duplicates? Or temporary Internet files? Or, maybe, uninstall some programs? The purpose depends on your requirements and the current status of the disk.

At the work with Disk Cleaner be guided by its functionalities presented in the left program part. They are conditionally divided into three parts: disk clean up, file and system management. Last two options are connected with job with files and system options. Here are the examples of the basic options: Internet clean, Duplicate clean, Startup manager.

All basic work is in the central program part. In this you need to choose sub options on each option, location search (if it is necessary), the kinds of deleted files etc.

For the specification of the work results you can use special Settings in the top-right program part. The options allow to choose exceptions of files and folders which are not considered at the work, options for the removal of unnecessary files (for example to remove in the Recycle Bin or a special folder), program skins. For the decision of arising problems address to the command “Help” where you can receive the detailed information.

In summary here are some words about the possibilities of Disk Cleaner.

Firstly, the removal of unnecessary files: duplicate files, temporary Internet files, system files, registry clean up. The function will allow to clear the computer of set of the unnecessary and not used files reducing your disk space.

Secondly, the start or the removal of some programs by means of System manager.

Thirdly, file management by means of Files&Folders.
