for a long time we have been working on adding custom file type support to provide flexibility for users, & today we are glad to say that it has been implemented in Duplicates Cleaner Prime
this powerful new feature which shall be available in upcoming update ( > Version 1.2.3 ) enables users to scan literally any kind of file type they can think of & we made sure that no system critical file type such as .exe is selected by mistake, your security is our prime concern, please follow below steps to add custom file type extensions to app settings
- Open “Settings” page
- Click on “Add” button to open dialog
- Enter file type extensions you like in the format of extension name followed by comma -> “txt,iso,cad,sav” (format is marked in bold)
- Now click on “Add” to confirm the extensions
- Now click on “Ok” to save the settings
- Navigate to home page
- Click on “Scan Duplicate Custom File Types”
- Duplicates for the defined file types are found 🙂
we have also prepared a brief demo which shows how to use this new feature, please see that below
we hope you like it, if you have any concerns comment below to let us know 🙂
I think in the add custom extension section they should allow extensions that are in the default options. For example, I only want to delete pdf files from a directory but none of the files .doc or .xls, and with your guideline of not accepting the .pdf extension on its own, the program loses strategic value compared to other applications. Another alternative is that we can in the default searches some file extensions. Thank you
Hi Jose,
thanks a lot for your valuable feedback, we will definitely look into it & try to provide it in one of the upcoming updates.
how i can delete package files with this app, i purchased the premium version but didnt cant delete my packages files… what i need to do?
Hi Muller,
what do u mean by package files ?
soporta .iso ¡?
Yes john.
El programa no me detecta los archivos con extensión pdf y por tanto ni los lee ni los elimina, y si trato de agregar la extensión con la versión premium, me dice que ya existe, que agregue otra, y necesito eliminar archivos duplicados con la extensión pdf, que puedo hacer? antes sí lo hacía
Hi Patricia,
Please contact our support detailing the issue, it shall be resolved 🙂
can I select multiple folders at a time instead of adding single folder at a time
Hi Dibakar,
you can select multiple folders in prime version of the app, by default this setting is enabled, for more info you can view settings section in the app 🙂
Hi there,
With the custom search function, I have followed the instructions but do not seem to be able to add any extensions.
I have the latest version installed.
Examples are – “csv,vcf,pst,html,txt,CSV”
Any advice?
TY
J
Hi Jason,
Please follow the video & make sure you are adding extensions in correct format, if you still face any issues contact our support, we will schedule one to one support, no worries 🙂
Really is a great piece of software as far as I can get it to go – very fast, safe and all for a very reasonable price. However, I can’t find a way of getting it to compare files of all types in one scan – I’m not too bothered whether it’s .mp3 .jpeg .doc etc – I just want it to find duplicates of any kind in one scan. I would also like it to find duplicates in the download folder, but an outright ban on dealing with .exe files prohibits this. While I can see that a strong warning is important with this file type, could the user not be allowed to make the choice?
Hi John!
1) we didn’t include scanning all file types in one go because most of the time the results overwhelm the user & more over the file type uniformity is destroyed, when audio files & image files are combined to be shown in the results, the layout looses it’s optimization causing poor user experience.
2) in upcoming update you can scan “.exe” file types with out any restrictions, hence no worries there.
we really appreciate for taking your time & providing us such a valuable feedback, have a great day 🙂
Using Duplicates Cleaner, trying to use the ‘Scan Duplicate Audio Files’ but continue to get the message “File Processing failed! Try again, if the issue persists please contact us through Support section (?!?) on home page.” Couldn’t find “Support section” so decided to purchase Prime thinking that would be the solution. Received the same message. Each time I try to run it on the audio files, it gets anywhere from 69% to 82% done and then the message pops up and never gets any further. What do I need to do to get this to work?
