Constantly crashes.. seems to not accept more than 100 files before CPU goes to 100% and hangs.. I have to keep restarting it, which means its useless.

Downloaded trial Singlemizer and start scanning my Boot Disk (SSD). 100% CPU utilization, App not responding and after 10 minutes I have to be force closed the App. Tried it again on my Home Folder, same result! Open up AppZapper and dragged Singlemizer into it. ZAP!

A properly written App should not freeze when it is busy. It should update the user on what it is doing. I will try this promising app again when the developer has fixed this issue.

imo the best of the bunch. There are a lot of dupe checkers but does it will style. Simple GUI and fast searching.

Briefly, I like Singlemizer but I'm suing Singlemizer 2, not 3, because I refuse to install Lion on my Macs. It works fine, but the logic explained in the well-written instructions doesn't quite translate over to the set-up controls, thus breeding perhaps unnecessary caution in the user. Finally I just let Singlemizer do its thing. Great.

One unresolved question is what to do when Singlemizer doesn't move files to the trash because "you don't have necessary permissions." Permissions for what? I believe I had proper permissions for all of the files that remained (most of which were Mail documents), but resorted to deleting them one by one. A strange anomaly.

I'm sorry we non-Lion users can benefit by the most recent upgrade. I hope it's the last time.

The next to last line should read, "I'm sorry we non-Lion users CANNOT benefit by the most recent upgrade."

Singlemizer regained 6 GB in duplicate files removed from my Home directory. However, I had to mess with the permissions of the files to make them removable. Rather than go one by one -- which would take me as much time as removing the files one by one -- I resorted to BatChmod to set the same permissions for all folders and files (except root files).

http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/6440/batchmod

This created a new set of problems, not unmanageable but tedious to fix. There should be a way to deal with permissions in Singlemizer or with a third-party app like BatChmod that meets the application's needs without redoing hundreds of files (or more).

This lousy software TRASHED my Mac, running Lion. I paid for it and installed it just last night, and I want my money back. It ate up all the memory, ran the CPU up over 100% (how is that even possible?), and ruined the networking. That is completely broken now. This software is garbage.

And I forgot to mention, destroyed networking on my Mac. No Internet, no visible servers on the LAN, nothing. How do I restore that without a reinstall of the entire OS? Not good.

Per the networking issues, I think you did that. I did the same, had to make some repairs to bring my peripherals back online. I was more concerned about losing some bundles. You have to set the parameters carefully, but it's not always clear from the instructions what's right in this regard. So you experiment. Use caution when you do.

Too bad I can't update my MAS version to version 3, since my OS is that oh-so ancient OS known as Snow Leopard.

That's why I am still waiting for a full vesion 3 on Mac App Store...
I felt something bad for that kind of selling system by seeing different versions both on maker's web site and Apple's.
Thanks for your advice, you saved me 19 bucks!

You're welcome.
(I do see version 3 in the Mac App Store, I just can't update. The developer does offer through his website trial-downloads of both the new version 3, and the older version 2. Version 2 is for Snow Leopard, and version 3 is, sadly, Lion-only).

Bricci_mn,
Version 3.0.0 is already available on the Mac App Store as well as at our own store. The delay was caused by the long review process. We made the new version available for the purchase through our site while the new build was just submitted to the Apple. I believe there is no reason to synchronize both releases.

I agree with Myka. I have no intention of installing Lion -- it's a step backward in user interface design and functionality -- but I do enjoy Singlemizer. So it's too bad those of us who can't or won't use Lion can't have the latest and greatest Singlemizer. But so it goes. Maybe with OS 11. Or someone else will serve us.

Singlemizer is stable and fairly speedy, and finds true duplicates only.

This doesn't mean it's perfect. So that you know what to expect, these are my gripes (not show stoppers, mind you, otherwise this wouldn't rate it four stars):

1) Singlemizer is not exactly easy to use, unless you know answers to "what is the UTI for a jpeg image", for example (???? - that's what I thought). A few more sliders and popup lists would be helpful.

2) Singlemizer is not fully keyboard controllable (setting the delete checkmark on individual files still needs the mouse).

3) Singlemizer compares files only. There's no option to compare contents of folders and delete the folder only if it's exactly the same as another folder. Or, if there is such an option, I have no idea how to use it.

4) For every file, the console logs "file access by '/rsrc' was deprecated in 10.4". I'm thinking scanning would be faster without that warning.

But overall, the price is right and it surely beats some of the other options I've tried, especially when comparing a large number of files (10,000 or more).

Got this from the Mac AppStore. It's actually works, and it works _really_ well. This may be a one trick pony, but it's the worlds most talented pony.

Please, forgive my silly analogy and the silly name of the software. This is really nice software.
