WizTree can now locate duplicate files by Name and Size, or Name, Size and Date。
WizTree considers file names that have been automatically renamed by Windows as equivalent。
e。g。
“ NAME。EXT ”,
“ NAME (1)。EXT ”,
“ NAME (2)。EXT ”,
“ NAME - COPY。EXT ”,
“ NAME - COPY (1)。EXT ” are equivalent
Note that WizTree currently doesn't compare the file contents,
so take care before deleting files that might not be true duplicates。
To locate duplicates, select the “ File View ” then select the duplicate detection method from the “ Duplicate Files ” drop down box。
If any duplicate files are located while scanning,
they will be indicated by a “ + ” symbol next to the file name
- click on the plus to expand the list of duplicate files which will be displayed under the original file。
New “ Dup Count ” (number of duplicates the file has) and “ Dup Size ” (total size of all other duplicate files) columns will appear and the list can be sorted by these to quickly locate duplicates。
Select the “ Duplicates only ” checkbox to quickly display only files that have duplicates。
A new separate “ File Name ” column has been added to the “ File View ” that displays just the file name, excluding the path
File view might not have shown all relevant files when “ max files ” was not set to “ ALL ” and sorting was not by size - fixed
File view sorting is much quicker now
Regular expression filters would incorrectly be applied to “ entire path ” when match by “ name only ” was selected if the reg expression contained a backslash - fixed
Themes are now automatically disabled when WizTree is running as local system account (“ SYSTEM ”) as this would cause some display elements not to render correctly when using remote access tools such as ScreenConnect
Stability improvements when scanning network folders and drives
v4.18
“ Include ” filter is now no longer applied WHILE scanning as this causes files and folders to be filtered out incorrectly
- it is now applied after scanning.
Only the “ Exclude ” filter is applied while scanning now.
Improved “ =folder ” filter processing.
It's now possible to locate folders of a certain size by using a filter like:
=folder >1g
(This finds folders larger than 1 Gig in size)
fixed bug in allocated size filtering
(file size was used instead of allocated size when filtering by allocated size, e.g. a>100m)
Copy/Cut/Delete and other operations now work correctly with multiple files from different folders selected.
Previously it would only work if all files were in the same folder.
progress bar tweaked to be a little smoother
progress was not being updated on screen when loading CSV files - fixed
v4.17
“ Include ” and “ exclude ” filters are now applied WHILE scanning non NTFS drives (folders,network shares,mobile phones,etc)
This can greatly speed up scans by prevening certain folders from being scanned at all
and can also greatly reduce memory use
This also works when exporting via the command line
Toggle filters on/off by clicking on the filter button under the Scan button
or Options -> Filter Scan Results (Ctrl + Shift + F)
For example
if you use 群晖 NAS
you can get WizTree to ignore snapshot and recycle folders by setting the “ exclude filter ” to: #snapshot|#recycle|@recycle
before starting a scan
Note that there should not be any spaces between the vertical pipes (vertical pipes are interpreted as “ OR ” and spaces interpreted as “ AND ”)
The example above will exclude any file or folder name that contains “ #snapshot ” OR “ #recycle ” OR “ @recycle ”
Another example:
To exclude the “ C:\Windows\WinSxS ” and “ C:\Program Files ” folders from being scanned
you would set the exclude filter to C:\Windows\WinSxS\|"C:\Program Files\"
Note that double quotes are required around filter items that contain spaces
Exploring a folder containing an exe with the same name as the folder would launch the exe instead of opening the folder - fixed
WizTree will now automatically remove any spaces between vertical pipes in filter and search fields to ensure they work as expected
