Clean Duplicates Dialog

By clicking on the Advanced Options->Find/Delete Duplicate Files option the Clean Duplicates Dialog will appear (see below).



Enter the source directory (the directory where new images are stored) and the destination directory (where you want to store the images) and click on the "Remove Duplicate Files" button. The program will begin comparing the files and if the "Merge to Destination" option is checked, it will move all of the non-duplicate files in the source directory to the destination.

You may also use this option to remove duplicate files in the same directory by entering the same directory for the source and destination. However, if you have the "Merge to Destination" option checked a warning will be displayed (you cannot merge files when the source and destination are the same".

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SOURCE AND DESTINATION DIRECTORY *SHOULD NOT* HAVE AN ENDING SLASH ('\'). DIRECTORIES SHOULD BE WRITTEN AS C:\DIRECTORY NOT C:\DIRECTORY\ Leaving the trailing slash can cause undesired results.
