Since I needed a program to find and eliminate duplicate files on my
CD's and hard disks and since the already available programs for OS/2
didn't work the way I wanted to find my files, I wrote my own "clone
killer".
Features:
- Freeware under the GPL (since I consider it a rather
"quick hack" :-)
- comes with source, so there is space for you to improve
the code and send me your improvements
- finds files on any kind of drive (hard drives, cd's,
network drives)
- uses crc32 (slower) or md5 (quicker) checksum algorithm
- uses own config file for easy configuration and adaption
- scans complete drives or only subdirs
- scan directories or also recurses into directories
- scans for given specified filetypes ( maybe only *.jpg or
*.gif or both or...)
- stores values in database (example: you have files
already on cd and dont want to scan these cd's every time
you try to find your clones)
- generates "CMD" file to delete the clones found or run it
in "unattended" mode in a batch file..
- delete all duplicates found or files only from specified
drives or directories
