Fast Duplicate File Finder is an excellent application for finding duplicates. I have recently reviewed another application that scanned the files' CRC to determine if a file was a duplicate or not. That is great. The application was really easy to use and pretty straightforward. However, I am now realizing that it was missing something really important: the ability to preview your files. It can be said that that isn't really important, since if a file is determined to be a duplicate, well, it is a duplicate. But being able to preview those files is nonetheless a nice feature to have. Like the other applications that do this same task, Fast Duplicate File Finder will scan the directory that you tell it to and then show you what files are said to be duplicates. This one scans the file's contents to determine if a file is a duplicate. I am thinking it also uses CRC detection procedures. If you find duplicates, you can delete them from within the application. I really like the application's GUI. It is much more refined than other solutions I tried recently.
