Agree with what e_commerce wrote, and a thanks for the tip: Delivery Status is much more polished and useful. Package Tracker only tracks UPS, DHL, and FedEx, and it seems that at least one one of those is always broken (usually UPS). Delivery Status checks far more, and can even check Amazon (and other) package status automatically, *and* you can track multiple packages at once.
The most flexible image resizing application I've tried. I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for a couple of drawbacks:
1) if the source folder is fiddled with a little during processing (e.g., if you simple view one of the images in the folder being processed, and that image is resized while still open), the application will unexpectedly quit.
2) if you drag another folder onto the application, mistakenly thinking it had finished with the prior job, that prior job is cancelled without any warning.
3) resource-intensive; clicking "cancel" can sometimes take 10-15 seconds or longer.
Still, the worth of the product outweighs the negatives, and I use it regularly.
Works very well, especially in v. 1.1.1, which adds many interface enhancements as well as fixing a couple of crash problems.
I don't know why anyone would have problems understanding how to use the application; it seemed quite simple to me, but some usage enhancements would be nice. Fortunately, the developer listens to suggestions--about half of the ones I've made have already been added (and I've gone a little overboard with suggestions).
Perhaps the main reason why duplicates might not be found is that, AFAIK, the application only matches duplicates of equal size. It'll find a single image multiply saved in in JPG, TIFF, and other formats, but won't match them if one is 640x480 and another is 1024x768. So far, that is the single largest drawback to an otherwise very good program (and one that is getting better).
I have a LARGE collection of photos that is rather disorganized, including sets that I cannot now identify, but might be duplicates of ones that were previously labeled and archived. However, since we're talking 89 *thousand* photos... well, just try remembering which ones! I've been able to cull out thousands of duplicates.
To explain my rating:
For "Features" to go to 5, it needs
a) the ability to match images of different sizes, and
b) the ability to rescan a particular result, adding new images. Now, you can add a new, separate directory, but can't redo already scanned directories that had new content added (matching only the new images against the existing database).
If the little interface suggestions I've made are added--e.g., when one of a pair of duplicates is deleted, for the next pair to automatically be selected even if in different folders--"Ease of Use" goes to 5.
Right now, it's helped do things I couldn't practically do before.
I'm not certain I understand why such a product would cost $40. For my flash drives, I use the free (and great) Do Something When to launch the old, freeware version of Synk whenever the flash drive is inserted, and it backs up my files. Works perfectly, and cost nothing.

The choice is a no-brainer.
