Simple Duplicate Finder v1.2.0.3

webfork on 13 Jan 2019
  • 117KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 1 Dec 2011
  • Suggested by ancientimages

Simple Duplicate Finder helps track down similar files either to delete extras and save space or to compare versions. While most duplicate-searching programs are looking for exact copies, SDF uses a Percentage Search, allowing you to adjust the percentage difference required for a file to be considered a duplicate. Once scanned, the program will display the number of bytes which differ as well as the specific percentage match between files.

This is useful for example with metadata: when Windows Image Import tool downloads pictures from your digital camera, additional XML data is inserted into the images and video files, including a timestamp of when the image was downloaded to the computer. Although the image is identical in every way to its original, the file will appear as unique. SDF can detect these files and help remove them.

You can tell that the developer used Photoshop as an inspiration and it shows.

A shame that the developer has ceased work on it, but for a 4.79 MB app, it's way more than I initially expected.

very easy intuitive fast and clear program, i autoboot it everytime

Really glad I tried this, usually I use fascapture, but this has some great features over it. Like others have said an ability to be able to save captures as pdf would be nice, but hardly essential. There are other programs on here to convert images to pdf.

Hot Spot Studio v2.1

webfork on 4 Feb 2017
  • 3MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 2 May 2010
  • Suggested by mmx64

Hot Spot Studio is an image generator that creates interesting, colorful, or abstract images. Placing one or more spotlights on the work canvas, changing the size and intensity, and letting the program render "lights" produces some unique, beautiful results. The program can also start with existing images as a backdrop. Great for experimenting with color palates, creating desktop backgrounds, making eye-catching document templates, or modifying existing images with an aged or unusual look.

Drag the screen to a larger size to increase the image canvas (this will increase render time). Outputs to JPG files.

I know I'm just commenting on the fact it's listed as working on Windows 7

donald on 2011-03-28 13:20

Using your own photos/Images portably without the need to access and change the settings in 7 would be one reason.

Does burning a mixed mode audio CD with Burrrn require having a Disc drive that can write CD-Text. My burner is an Optiarc DVD+RW AD 7580S. According to the Nero Info Tool, it can read CD-Text, but it is not clear if it can also write CD-Text. Also, can Burrrn create an audio CD with album cover image (jpg) as well as text (track and album information).

UPDATE: deleted the NSIS launcher i had posted that took care of the registry keys.. etc.

Here's an updated PAF launcher:

@ tandavad
for CD-Text support.. your Drive has to have the capability. I use Exact Audio Copy which does support CD-Text.. not sure about Burrrn.
