Having extensive media collections means that getting ahold of your files and maintaining a structured approach can sometimes involve the search for duplicates, which can occur even accidentally, as a result of unwanted copy processes. Aside from manually running searches in order to find dupes, one can rely on a dedicated solution, such as Cistem Duplicate Finder, which will perform an automated scan for whichever storage medium you prefer, and identify the culprits momentarily.

Users can quickly get the application to start identifying any potential duplicates, as selecting the preferred drive location for the scanning process is quite straightforward. One can add the chosen drive either using the provided navigator or, by simply dragging-and-dropping the corresponding folder onto the interface.

However, in terms of ease-of-use, it is worth mentioning that there is no context-menu integration provided, and it would be a nice addition to see in further iterations of the program.

Having run the first scan process, in the eventuality of finding duplicates, users will be able to preview them in a structured mode, thanks to the application’s provided categorization, which addresses data from a format-oriented perspective, making things easier to discern.

We believe that the provided categorization enhances handling efficiency and allows one to quickly get a grasp of all the identified data, as well as its characteristics. Lastly, the application also offers a pie-chart view of the different identified media types.

Cistem Duplicate Finder can prove to be a reliable choice for those who need a minimalist scanner to help them find and get rid of duplicate digital files.
