This page is kept online for archival reasons. I stopped maintaining this project in 2003 for personal reasons. I make no guarantee that it will still work. I do have plans to rejuvinate it at some time in the future with a massively improved version. Until then you can look at this page.
Thank you for looking at my Duplicate File Finder Project. It is still quite a simple utility, but serves a very useful purpose, finding duplicated files on your system that can take up valuable space.
Features:
- Check files by any combination of checksum, size, and name
- Options to ignore links and empty files
- Add or remove directories or individual files for the search, including removeable media such as CD's, Zips, etc.
- Unique "database" function allowing you to store information about previously examined files and use that information in future searches, avoiding the unnecessary reexamination of those files.
- A progress window listing files that have been examined in real time, plus start and finish times of the search
- Lots of very nice future plans
Duplicate File Finder is right now still somewhat rough around the edges, but it works and serves its first and most fundamental purpose, finding and allowing the elimination of duplicated files.

Source Code: Due to some idiots who clearly arent capable of downloading the JavaUNIX library, think they know Java, and think I don't know how to program, the source code is now only available from me per email request. Please use the form below to make that request.
