Mini-Reviews by Members / DupeTrasher

« on: June 24, 2006, 05:37 AM »

DupeTrasher is 10 times faster than DoubleKiller (https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=1693.0) (havent tried the pro version).




Yet another duplicate file scanner?
We think it's not, but this is up to you to decide. From our experience, some very popular software packages have this option in their features set, but it's has rather poor design. They tend to completely hang or even crash the system when large number of files are included into search. Of course we are not going to name any of those applications here. Advanced algorithm combined with the raw power of assembly language gives you the fastest duplicate file finder on the market, as far as we know. This is not just a cliché sentence, until today we were unable to find some other utility of this kind that is faster, more optimized and lower memory consumer than DupeTrasher. This is especially true when it comes to a search of the large number of files. However, if you prove us wrong and find such application, please let us know, we will give you DupeTrasher license for free!

Technical details
DupeTrasher was written completely in Win32 assembly, as a standalone executable file with no third party libraries or DLL dependencies. Program size is only about 130kb and no compression has been used. It was designed to run on the Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003. Smart application crash system is implemented, in order to give you ability to report us any bug that may arise.

minimize to system tray should do it.

try Minimizer-XP or your other favorite Minimize to Tray freeware/applications, once minimize to tray all of them will stop flashing.

edit: 4t Tray Minimizer Free/Pro 4.27 free! is also very nice, lighter than Minimizer-XP.

- reasonable memory usage, 2 processes use roughly 8MB of RAM, no slowdown whatsoever.

- wont work for trialware that require reboot, becoz after a reboot it's all gone.

- i will keep it as reboot is much faster than making a new image with TI.

how about if you move the taskbar to the top? it will be less likely to get triggered since the title bar is at the top.

General Software Discussion / Re: Instant System Recovery from Raxco

« on: June 17, 2006, 05:57 AM »

i read this thread for info reg. TI vs FDISR:

My experience with FDISR

i like the ability to boot into the snapshots, we can create 10 snapshots max so it is like we have 10 different partitions to boot into.

but creating the snapshots is damn slow, my c drive is 2.2GB, used 1.5GB,

--TI takes 2.5 minutes to create an image, image size is 750MB (default compression at 3/10)

--FDISR takes 7 minutes to create a snapshot, size, 1.5GB, (what a waste of space).

i dont like it, will uninstall it later.

« on: June 13, 2006, 08:54 PM »

oh i see what you mean now. 
i use Registry Workshop, a shareware, it can search thru the registry and display all the match occurrences at once, i dont think the search result can be exported to a txt file and also cant access via the context menu, but it has some very powerful features.

another one is Registry Explorer, freeware. i havent tried this one tho.
