ESPIRIDION  I tend to agree that Araxis' programs are expensive. They do offer an attractive educational discount, although not on this program. Also, they are REALLY good applications.

At $20, this is their cheapest program. Tidy Up, for example, is $30. FileBuddy is $40 and has a myriad of features including finding duplicate files. Great program.

Overall I like Araxis FDF, but there's room for improvement:

1. Some file types are not recognized (e.g., text clippings, XMind documents, etc.). File Buddy had no problem with these files. On the other hand, FDF found many images from OMNI Graffle files, and FB did not.

2. The font size seems too small.

3. It does not have many preference, so it does not allow for much customization.

I did like the preview of the files, and managed to get rid of many duplicates I had in one folder and various sub-folders. The process was slow since I would not let FDF automatically choose which files to remove, but just from that folder containing mostly PDF files I got rid of 1.2 GB of duplicates.

I will be using it quite a bit, so I decided to purchase it, but at first it seems a bit expensive.

It also integrates with Araxis Merge.

DOOBIEXX  I agree w/ the poster now below me. Decent dupe app but for 20$ it is definitely not worth the change. No offense to Araxis but all of your products are over priced. If the apps were reasonably priced I believe you would in the end have more customers. Just my .02 . Wish I could afford Araxis programs, but right now, there is no way I can sleep easy paying the list prices.

Please bring the prices down or get with MU and do a one day deal, I think your company would benefit from more customers at a lower price. I don't need to explain economics, you know what your doing. Just wish they were priced fairly.
