The Good
* Straightforward and easy to use.
* Users are allowed to search for specific file types, or search the whole computer.
* Has the option to use binary comparisons in addition to comparison by file name and size.
* "Fuzzy logic" feature allow for a bit of elbow room when searching for duplicate files.
* Provides handy "extra" information on MP3 and image files, such as bitrate and resolution (respectively).
* Fairly fast scans.

The Bad
* Has bugs; can't finish a full scan on my C:/ partition because of errors.
* Can only search one partition at a time.
* Criteria to compare files is limited to name, size, or "byte-by-byte" - lacks the ability to use other criteria such as data file created, date last modified, etc.
* Users can't go back to the search results after the results are displayed if they (accidentally or on purpose) click on a different file type search option.
* The interface could do with a makeover.

Free Alternatives

-- The program searched a drive with 192 GB of data in under 2 minutes; its speed is very impressive and its best feature.

-- Results are fair; some have been useful, many are not.

-- Big negative in that you cannot sort by the different options once the search has completed; ie: file name, file size, etc...

As noted, the interface is awkward and not sufficiently simple to use in searching through the search results to find real duplicates. I had about 2000 results, and it was just a matter of scrolling through them and trying to figure out which needed attention. Sorting by type would have helped this tremendously! As is, I don't think I'll continue to use this program.

Regardless, thanks for the giveaway!

@Ashraf: it can search for as many partitions as you like, under: "Options -> Paths" you can add as many paths as you like and also partition-paths!

@Ashraf again, you have written on doTech: Users must manually change the "status" of each file individually; no options to change the "status" of multiple files at once. ... That is not correct: Softchronizer has a context menu, when you right-click on the table with the search-results. - there all is what you are missing!
