Find Duplicate Files 2009.65 (21 April 2009)

This was a previous production-quality release of Araxis Find Duplicate Files 2009 for Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard. Araxis recommends that all users upgrade to the latest release.

Changes in this release

• The user interface is now even easier to use and more self-explanatory. [I10931, I10939, I10961]
• By default, a confirmation sheet is now shown when you ask Find Duplicate Files to delete files. [I10961]
• The Using Araxis Find Duplicate Files help topic has been considerably improved. [I10961]
• Application windows may no longer be sized smaller than a certain minimum size. [I10932]
• A crash due to an ‘uncaught exception “NSInternalInconsistencyException”’ should no longer occur. [I10908]
• Find Duplicate Files should no longer crash when it encounters certain files with character encoding errors. [I10662]
• A problem with hash-value generation has been addressed. [I10977]

Find Duplicate Files 2009.54 (20 January 2009)

This was a previous production-quality release of Araxis Find Duplicate Files 2008 for Mac OS X Leopard. Araxis recommends that all users upgrade to the latest release.

Changes in this release

• The Folders to be scanned list may now be re-ordered using drag-and-drop. This is useful because the order of folders in this list is important for the Delete Duplicate Files... operation. [I10642]
• Newly non-duplicate items are now hidden automatically following a delete of their duplicates when Show only duplicate items is checked. [I10644]
• Find Duplicate Files now has the ability to further process the duplicate files found using an external program. For more information, see Process Files Panel. [I10633]
• Extended attribute files (whose names are prefixed by ._), which are managed by the operating system and appear only on filesystems that do not support extended attributes directly, are now excluded from appearing in search results. For example, ._Untitled.rtf would be the extended attributes file associated with Untited.rtf, and only the latter would now appear in search results. When a file with separate extended attributes is deleted or moved, the associated extended attributes file will also be processed in the same way. This addresses a problem whereby files on a FAT-formatted USB drive could not be deleted. [I10687]
• The product major version number has been updated to 2009, to reflect the year of release. [I10715]

Araxis Find Duplicate Files 2008 releases

This was a previous production-quality release of Araxis Find Duplicate Files 2008 for Mac OS X Leopard. Araxis recommends that all users upgrade to the latest release.

Changes in this release

• Find Duplicate Files now has support for 64-bit processor architectures, enabling it to handle massive directory hierarchies on 64-bit machines. [I10487]

Changes in this release

• When deleting all duplicates of a file, the first duplicate encountered during a folder scan is now retained and the others deleted. Previously, the ordering was undefined. Changing the order of folders to be scanned therefore provides a mechanism to control which duplicate is kept. [I10047]
