DESCRIPTION
Tidy Up! is a complete duplicate finder and disk tidiness utility.
Here are a few Tidy Up! features:
- With Tidy Up! you can search for duplicate files and packages; by the owner application, content, type, creator, extension, time modified, time created, name, label, visibility and date/age. You can also search by the tag, duration and bit installments of MP3 and AAC sound files and EXIF metadata, search the contents of the iPhoto, Aperture, iTunes, iPod databases and Mail mailboxes, and synchronize deletions with iPhoto, Mail and iTunes.
- Tidy Up! allows you to search for duplicate folders; by name, date modified, date created, label visibility, empty folders, their contents and more.
- Tidy Up! is fast, it doesn't index the scanned volumes, so you don't waste additional precious space. With its multitasking capability, you can do more searches at a time and take advantage of the latest Macintosh computers and operating systems.
- Tidy Up! comes with a search mode called Basic Mode*, which includes more than 90 pre-defined searches. For a customized strategy, you can opt for Strategy Wizard, which based on your choices creates the appropriate criteria with which to search for duplicates and a new "Smart Basket" that will contain the items to be removed, or the manual method, the most customized method offered.
- TTidy Up! has a security system that assures you will keep at least one file of the duplicate group on your disk, the ability to undo copied and moved items and the ability to restore trashed items as long as the trash is not emptied, even after a restart of the computer.
- Tidy Up! offers a full-size preview of the most commonly used files such as: audio, media, text, pdf, graphics, fonts and more... and Quick Look like in the Finder (only from OS X 10.5).
- One of the most interesting features of Tidy Up! is the capability to separate, for quick and easy organization, found items using custom criteria via "Smart Baskets." It also includes the possibility to choose, from the items belonging to the supported applications, a specific album , playlist or mailbox.
- Tidy Up! allows you to trash, move, replace the moved and trashed items with aliases or simbolic links, burn, assign colored Finder labels and export into html and text files all found items.
- Tidy Up! is fully customizable and allows you to create your preferred workspace.

NARROWNECK I couldn't believe my luck finding this application. But I find I am not able to understand the interface to achieve what I want. Which is: What images in location A are also in location B? It tells me duplicate within A and within B but not between the two! It finds JPG files when all images are selected but not when JPEG is selected! Setting up duplicates in the same location are not detected by Selecting Images, All kinds in Basic Mode. Selecting the folder and Search. Nothing found even though the selected folder has two folders containing duplicate JPG files! Hmm What did I do wrong there? Do the same with Other files and packages, All file types and they duplicate JPG files are found. Repeat that selecting two volumes with known duplicates between them but not within them and no items are found. I've experimented for an hour or so with strategies but still no success. The application is obviously very powerful and I hope to grasp it eventually. I have got some results but I'm unconfident why. JPEG filter does not allow JPG files for example. For now though I'm unable to achieve what I want. So I will not buy until I have.

JHT69 TidyUp seems to be an easy app to navigate. Although I've primarily used it thus far to eliminate duplicate programs. Until I installed this app, I had no idea that I had so many duplicates. It's unfortunate that software manufacturers do not include code that detects existing forms of their software in an effort to help prevent users from having multiple versions on their computers.

STEVE FRAWLEY1 I have used this for years and find it invaluable. Giuseppe has always provided great support. With over 40,000 photos and well over 60,000 iTunes entries, finding and relocating or removing duplicates can be a massive task without TidyUp! Nothing else comes close to the powerful functionality. It can do very complex file comparisons and file management. Tip for new users: stay away from deleting files and just move them if you are not sure what you are doing. The only reason it appears confusing is because it has so many options to meet so many needs. FIles have so many levels of duplicity. The same song in iTunes, for example, can be one of many bitrates and types and lengths and TidyUp! helps in keeping what you want, be it the 'best', smallest or whatever. Thanks Giuseppe!

CYBORG9 Personally, I don't care about the icon design; what annoys me is that Tidy Up is not user friendly or intuitive..... Niether the quick start guide nor manual made things easier or clearer for me. A video tutorial would be most helpful.

DONPERREAULT Version 2.0 is more confusing than ever and the interface is horrible. Upgrade is $20.00 from version 1., I think the upgrade is expensive for loyal users of Tidy Up 1. Good thing I don't see the need to upgrade ;)

HMURCHISON What exactly makes you a "loyal" customer? Just because you purchase something doesn't entitle you to claim your loyalty IMO. Software development is ongoing and your upgrades fund future development so rejoicing in the fact that you don't need to upgrade neither makes you wrong or right but it draws questions to your "loyalty" and how much you really have. Just an observation.

SHANE C SMITH Wow, they went from a crappy icon to a crappier icon. I have not tried this yet, so I can't give a review... yet.

NICMART I downloaded TidyUp and scanned two drives with important files. It found about 11,000 duplicates very rapidly. But TidyUp is so unclear that I wasn't about delete anything. The interface needs a major rewrite to make it crystal clear.

FISHNCHIPS I've recently been trying to merge two iTunes libraries together. One has the DRM'd m4p music in it and one the m4a iTunes Plus music in it. I used Chronosync to copy the files over to my other Mac but was left with a problem. The filenames are the same except the extension... With over 3000 files to work through I turned to Tidy Up! Using the demo, I was able to work through this extremely powerful but occasionally confusing product (just need to learn how to use it properly!) to do exactly what I needed to do. My main rating is a 4 but if I could it'd be a 4.5. Try it out. You'll be impressed.
