Duplicate files tool

[rewright 804]

There is a small program (I can't remember the name) that finds duplicate programs and lists them for deletion. My old computer died and I would like to get this program back.

Thanks,

BSC Cleanitol? https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=97

I have used clone cleaner pro (google search).  BSC Cleanitol will only tell you if a file is present in your Plugin folder.  Handy to use when adding something, but it will only report doubles if you have asked about a specific file. CCP will help you streamline your Plugins.

Thank you for the replies folks.

Kahara: The relevance to SC4 is that your plug-in folder especially can become cluttered with duplicate files, which can cause conflicts.

Snakepit Dave: I am installed CCP and will give it a try. It is a little more complicated than the program I had before but looks as though it does the same thing. Thanks a lot.

Apologies.

The only thing I can think of is the cleanitol, but you say it was more complicated? Perhaps it wasn't a program made in the sc4 community.

"Clone Cleaner Pro" suggested by Snakepit Dave comes pretty close. The program in mind had options to delete all but the first or last of the example of the files. Quite nice.

Hi, Dick,

Was it DoubleKiller?  Got the tip from dedgren, and it seemed to work well.  I think it gives you some options.

Bye for now.

That was indeed the one I was looking for. Thank you so much...and please thank dedgren for me as well.

Very cool thanks. It's 2020 and that link still works.

 

I ran into an issue and this tool is perfect

Same, glad this link still works. With a nearly ten year old plugin folder, I am bound to have hundreds of duplicates slowing my game down
