Doublet Scan 2.1.3 ($25 Shareware) Although the Mac has some of the best installers on the market, there are still times when things may go awry. One of the more annoying problems is having multiple copies of applications or data files after the installer does its thing. This can lead to all sorts of strange system behavior. If only there was a way to scan your system for duplicates... Doublet Scan will identify "doublets" using a number of criteria. Searching by a simple filename is only the beginning. You can also search by size, creation date, modification date, creator or filetype, or any combination of these. Since the process of scanning every single file on a drive can take some time, it makes sense to limit the search. You can select a number of folders and/or drives which will be included in the scan. Each selection is color coded, so you can quickly determine the location of the duplicates after the scan has completed. Once the scan is complete, you will be presented with a list showing all duplicate files, based on your criteria. You can then proceed to remove duplicates which may be causing erratic system performance, or simply taking up space. Have any other Gadgets you think other Observers should know about? Just drop John a note, or better yet, let us all know about it via the Mac Gadget Forum. Useful Link Hyperbolic Software Download Page
