The first window you see when you launch dupeGuru is the folder selection window. This windows
|
||||
contains the list of the folders that will be scanned when you click on **Scan**.
|

contains the basic input dupeGuru needs to start a scan:
|
||||
|
||||
This window is quite straightforward to use. If you want to add a folder, click on the **+** button.
|
||||
If you added folder before, a popup menu with a list of recent folders you added will pop. You can
|
||||
click on one of them to add it directly to your list. If you click on the first item of the popup
|
||||
menu, **Add New Folder...**, you will be prompted for a folder to add. If you never added a folder,
|
||||
no menu will pop and you will directly be prompted for a new folder to add.

Application Mode
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
dupeGuru had three main modes: Standard, Music and Picture.
|
||||
|
||||
Standard is for any type of files. This makes this mode the most polyvalent, but it lacks
|
||||
specialized features other modes have.
|
||||
|
||||
Music mode scans only music files, but it supports tags comparison and its results window has many
|
||||
audio-related informational columns.
|
||||
|
||||
Picture mode scans only pictures, but its contents scan type is a powerful fuzzy matcher that can
|
||||
find pictures that are similar without being exactly the same.
|
||||
|
||||
Choosing an application mode not only changes available scan types in the selector below, but also
|
||||
changes available options in the preferences panel. Thus, if you want to fine tune your scan, be
|
||||
sure to open the preferences panel **after** you've selected the application mode.
|
||||
|
||||
Scan Type
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
This selector determines the type of the scan we'll do. See :doc:`scan` for details about scan
|
||||
types.

An alternate way to add folders to the list is to drag them in the list.

iPhoto and Aperture libraries
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
dupeGuru Picture Edition supports iPhoto and Aperture, which means that it knows how to read these
|
||||
libraries and how to communicate with iPhoto and Aperture to remove photos from them. To use this
|
||||
feature, use the special "Add iPhoto Library" and "Add Aperture Library" buttons in the menu that
|
||||
pops up when you click the "+" button. This will then add a special folder for those libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
When duplicates are deleted (sent to trash) from an iPhoto library, it's sent to iPhoto's
|
||||
trash.
|
||||
|
||||
When duplicates are deleted (sent to trash) from an Aperture library, it unfortunately can't
|
||||
send it directly to trash, but it creates a special project called "dupeGuru Trash" in Aperture
|
||||
and send all photos in there. You can then send this project to the trash manually.
|
||||
|
||||
iTunes library
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
dupeGuru Music Edition supports iTunes, which means that it knows how to read its libraries and how
|
||||
to communicate with iTunes to remove songs from it. To use this feature, use the special
|
||||
"Add iTunes Library" button in the menu that pops up when you click the "+" button. This will
|
||||
then add a special folder for those libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
When duplicates are deleted from an iTunes library, it's sent to the system trash, like a
|
||||
normal file, but it's also removed from iTunes, thus avoiding ending up with missing entries
|
||||
(entries with the "!" logo next to them).
|
||||
When you're ready, click on the **Scan** button to initiate the scanning process. When it's done,
|
||||
you'll be shown the :doc:`results`.
