<p>dupeGuru is a tool to find duplicate files on your computer. It has three
|
|
|
|
|
|
modes, Standard, Music and Picture, with each mode having its own scan types
|
|
|
|
|
|
and little features.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Although dupeGuru can easily be used without documentation, reading this file
|
|
|
|
|
|
will help you to master it. If you are looking for guidance for your first
|
|
|
|
|
|
duplicate scan, you can take a look at the <a class="reference internal" href="quick_start.html"><span
|
|
|
|
|
|
class="doc">Quick Start</span></a>
|
|
|
|
|
|
section.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>It is a good idea to keep dupeGuru updated. You can download the latest version on its <a
|
|
|
|
|
|
class="reference external" href="https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net">homepage</a>.</p>
