Your rating: Now say why...
GrupaDupa was created by people like you who want their hard disks free of duplicated files without spending ages in front of a computer.
After extensive search and testing of available duplicate detection software we decided to write our own with emphasis on speed and ease of use... and thus GrupaDupa was born.
We dicovered that most of our duplicated files were named the same and stored more than once in different folders. We decided to optimize GrupaDupa to find those files quickly and without having to set up any preferences. This is therefore our default

GrupaDupa was created by people like you who want their hard disks free of duplicated files without spending ages in front of a computer.
After extensive search and testing of available duplicate detection software we decided to write our own with emphasis on speed and ease of use... and thus GrupaDupa was born.
We dicovered that most of our duplicated files were named the same and stored more than once in different folders. We decided to optimize GrupaDupa to find those files quickly and without having to set up any preferences. This is therefore our default search.
GrupaDupa will find duplicates in any available volume in a flash. This includes hard disks, both internal and external, and any volume on your local network or on the internet. For example, GrupaDupa scanned the entire contents of one of WordPower's hard drives (126,963,803 files), filtered out all the files that were contained in folders like bundles, themes. packages etc but appeared as files, sorted them and listed 6,658 possible duplicated files. This operation took only 45 seconds to complete.
When GrupaDupa is run, it scans the requested location and presents you with a list of the possible duplicates it has found. From this list you can inspect the details of each of them, including its location, size, modification date, and checksum. You can also work with a duplicate right from our interface by opening it with its associated application, revealing it in the Finder, viewing it using Quick Look, or deleting it.
A small job well done.

Thank you for your question.
I am Axe, one of the developers of GrupaDupa and you might have noticed I only answer people.
Robinart has nothing to do with WordPower. She is an artist that lives near us, a friend and a user of GrupaDupa. While visiting she was using one of our Macs and thought she could comment on version 3 by logging in with her name. Unfortunately she did not log out as a developer first and therefore she got the (developer) tag. For the life of me I cannot explain why there is a Wordpower (developer) comment except that both Robinart and Wordpower comments are so close together that she might have tried twice by mistake.
On behalf of WordPower I apologize for any misunderstanding this may have caused.

I forgot to tell you that it is possible to exclude any folder or file from searches. Any folder name you enter in the excluded folders or any file name in the excluded files will not be considered by GrupaDupa. Type *cache* to exclude any file with anything before cache and anything after cache.
The fields are case sensitive Cache and cache are different.
Hope this helps.
GrupaDupa 3 is getting ready to beta!

thank you for trying GrupaDupa.
I created GrupaDupa because I was not able to find any app that would find duplicated files as quickly and as effectively as I wanted, whether free or not. GrupaDupa has received many good reviews. GrupaDupa demo allows the user to see how quickly it can find duplicated files and the price to get a fully working app is extremely reasonable.

Does anyone know of a program that will find duplicates and replace them with UNIX style hard links?

Also, if the checksum and file size are different, why does it show up as a duplicate? I don't have the time to open each of the thousands of entries.

Thank you very much for supporting GrupaDupa and for your comment.
You are perfectly right. Your suggestion will make GruoaDupa a lot better.
We have had a meeting about it and decided to implement it.
If you have any more suggestions feel welcome to contact us directly: support@wordpower-software.com

Thank you for trying GrupaDupa.
GrupaDupa reports the last modification date and the checksum as well as the name.
When the 3 are the same the file is highly probably the same. A file with the same name and any of the other 2 different is not a duplicated file for sure.
In the preferences you can filter out any of the extensions and file/folder types you do not wish GrupaDupa to look at nor report.
WordPower recommends users to check files with the reveal and or open menu commands before deleting them to avoid errors.
Hope this helps.

"GrupaDupa is matching by file name only as we realized that most people have duplicate files by filing them twice by mistake."
This makes the application useless for my needs. I've found many duplicate files in my system under different names thanks to Find Duplicate Files. There are also situations in which a file with the same name is NOT a duplicate. For example, some developers have the bad habit of naming their software "SoftwareName_Latest.dmg"
Obviously the contents of the file will vary with each release.
Another situation deals with generically named files, such as 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 1.mp3, etc.
