This comment is regarding v3.2 of Duplicate File Finder Plus. I received a free license for the full version in a recent promo. At Free, it was overpriced. Documentation consists of click the "Find Now!" button. There was no readme.txt or anything more informative on the software site. The site states they use their "algorithm" to determine duplicates. It fails to tell you what algorithm they are using - MD5? SHA1? SHA256? Apparently, it's none of those, because those actually work. User selected options in this software consist of file types, file size ranges, drives/folders, and whether to scan hidden and system files.I ran a test. I downloaded a couple of small files multiple times to a folder which contained a bunch of other junk files. I selected all file types. I selected all file size ranges, and I selected the folder containing the known duplicates. I clicked the "Find Now!" button and waited until it finished its scan. The results page looks cheap. It groups files in alternating batches of green and blue lettering. It did return some results, but NONE of them contained the duplicates I had just placed there.Note to the developers. Compare file size, then hash duplicate sized files using a real known and proven algorithm.I've tried several software products to find and remove duplicates. Some were good, some were mediocre. This one is the worst of them all. Much better products are available as freeware, so don't waste your money on this trash.
