Happy New Year
We are so happy to wish you a wonderful and blessed 2008! We will
continue to pray that the world will come together in peace and that
our families will once more be joined and war will be a thing of the
past.
Isn't this embroidery just a wonderful tool? It is so relaxing when
we sit and watch the stitchery take shape and such a delight when our
projects are completed. One unexpected little gift to someone brings
such a wonderful smile to cheer our hearts! That to me is the best
gift possible.
As I continue to accumulate embroidery designs, it used to be almost
impossible to sort through them all, let alone the enormous amount of
time it took, to find the "one" design I needed. If this is you and
you haven't heard about the Embroidery Deduper Software, please let me
tell you about it!
The Embroidery Deduper is the ONLY solution to eliminate duplicate
embroidery designs and files, while automating the extraction of
archive files, such as Zip and RAR files.
Here are some highlights of The Embroidery Deduper's many features :
* Automatically scans your embroidery folders and detects and removes
duplicate files. Just choose your embroidery folders and start it!
Identifies duplicate files even if the filenames are different.
* Automatically keeps your most preferred embroidery file format of a
given design and eliminates the less preferred formats.
* Automatically extracts RAR and Zip format archives and dedups those
files as well. It even handles nested archives of unlimited depth.
* Automatically identifies potentially corrupt archive files and puts
them in an isolated quarantine folder, for your later review.
* Preference settings such as Duplicate Detection Level, duplicate
preservation, quarantine location and preferred format settings are
fully customizable and can be saved as defaults or on a per-project
basis.
* It's Fast! The Embroidery Deduper can process thousands of files in
a matter of seconds. Speeds exceeding 200 files / second are not
uncommon, depending on your system configuration, duplicate file
density and number of archive files.
* Drag and Drop capability. Simply set your preferences, drag the
folder you want to clean up and drop it into the Embroidery Deduper
window, press the "Begin Dedup!" button and you're off! It's that
simple! You can save the project to a project file, making it even
simpler in the future!
The Embroidery Deduper is the fastest and most thorough way to tidy up
your embroidery folders. It's the perfect tool to clean up your
"Downloads" folder before you categorize your designs.

Hi Pat -
Deduper certainly sounds like a potentially useful utility.
I have a couple of questions about Deduper ... I'll ask them
in-line with the feature descriptions:

How do you determine that abc.hus and xyz.art are in fact the same
design? Or, conversely, how do you determine that 123.hus and 123.pes
are different?
If you're going strictly by the file names, the program WILL identify
files as duplicates that are not duplicate designs, and will fail to
identify designs in different formats that ARE duplicates. Many users
may have hundreds of different designs with the same base name and
different extensions, such as dozens of files named 1.hus and 1.pes,
distinguishable within a format by content but not across formats.

Does it then reconstruct the zips/rars?

Does the user have options what to do when Deduper finds a duplicate
on a per-instance basis? That is, within a folder or a project, when
Deduper finds a duplicate, can the user determine at that time what to
do with this specific file, such as:
a) Delete (and which one of the duplicates to delete)
b) Move to a separate location/folder/directory/, named as encountered
c) Rename files and retain.
Thanks for reading this.
