 Jay: i noticed that the version on the dev's homepage is 1.6.1.80. is there a reason that PFW does not have that one listed? [2006-06-19 06:29]

 Andrew Lee: Thanks for the info. I have updated the database entry to reflect the latest version. [2006-06-19 21:16]

 Jay: Cool. Wasn't sure if the newest version was still classified as portable or not. [2006-06-20 06:00]

 Webfork: Often you have exactly the same file named as something else and this program will help you track it down. The only duplicate-finding program I've found that doesn't work purely by file name, which is often inadequate. [2008-01-20 00:39]

 Roddersg: this program has an added feature which allows you to check all "1st" or all "2nd" files which saves a lot of manual work. Also, it gives you the option of moving the duplicate files (including the structure) to another location.
Great program [2008-04-01 08:32]

 Turpin: This is an amazing solution to the whole "deleted files" problem with most file synchronization apps, when the filesynchronizer has to ask you whether this or that file should be added to this side or deleted from that one or just takes the wrong action automatically. You can, for instance, have all your IE or Firefox favorites (if you're using FF's PlainOldFavorites extension) on two different computers with folders shared, make it a point to, instead of deleting files, move them to a "trash folder" you create (not the recycle bin). Then, in a batch file before the sync app runs, let this app check for anything in the second computer's favorites that match anything in the local computer's "trash folder" and delete them and vice versa comparing the local favorites with the second computer's "trash" folder. If you wanted to, you could even set up a shortcut to the "trash folder" in the sendto folder for easy access when you want to get rid of something. And probably the third step in the batch file after synchronization happens, would be to delete the contents of the "trash folder". [2008-09-01 12:57]

 Turpin: I stand by my last post, but this app doesn't do what I explained above as nicely or automatically as I was thinking. Guess I should test before posting from now on? For one, you have to manually select all subfolders and I don't think this one has an "automatic mode" to just delete all matching files without user interaction. I'm sure there's a duplicate deletion app out there that will do as I explained above though, and I'll find it. [2008-09-01 13:36]

 Ken C: Simple, quick, effective.
Great! [2009-01-18 15:26]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
