PixelEspresso Releases Decloner 1.2

PixelEspresso has released version 1.2 of Decloner, an update to its easy-to-use utility to find and eliminate duplicate files on Macintosh computers running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Decloner uses a reliable secure hash algorithm (SHA-1) to determine if files are identical. It has a simple and convenient interface.

Decloner can quickly process large number of files on internal, external or network drives. It presents the list of duplicate files to the user and allows removing files one by one, or mark several files and remove them all at once. The user can mark files manually or automatically, preserving the oldest or the newest file copy, and view file contents using Leopard's QuickLook feature.

Decloner never deletes files permanently. Instead, it moves files into the Trash or a folder of user's choice so that the user can always restore them if necessary. It also guards against removing all copies of a file. Decloner supports file name exclusion lists and minimum file size to ignore small files. Sparkle auto-update feature is included for user convenience.
