NoClone finds and removes duplicate files regardless of file name. Time-saving Smart marker filters duplicates for removal or archival. You may not realize how many duplicate files you have after downloaded many files from the Internet or duplicate files scattered over your home or corporate network. Duplicate files are usually redundant and unnecessary, so keeping them is merely a waste of valuable hard disk space. Your hard drives may be full of documents, mp3, photos and video and many of them are redundant.

    NoClone front end has serious usability issues that a serious programmer would not permit.

    Column widths for Year and Comments, for example, are almost the same as file path. While these are adjustable, a variety of actions (expanding a column past monitor display view, clicking on a column header to sort), eliminate these adjustments. There is no way to save the view the way you want it.

    In addition, in the middle of my first and second session, I was prompted to purchase NoClone. When I clicked away the message, my sessions were wiped out. This is 30-40 minutes of work reviewing and tagging duplicate files.

    This is no way to get someone to like your program.

    It's puzzling why the programmer did not concentrate on simple usability features, since this program potentially has a lot it could offer.

    After it destroyed my first two sessions, I am uninstalling this program, and not purchasing as intended. Being nagged to purchase is one thing, kicking a trial user out of a session because it isn't purchased within an hour or two of downloading is atrocious and not very user friendly.

    I like NoClone and this is a nice version upgrade, but have since moved on to CloneSpy, which is significantly faster and cleaner.

    Good points JMM, and I won't deny that Mo-Search is a great alternative. Mo-Search's ranking algorithm is both accurate and intuitive.

    Overall it works well, but the GUI is quite the jumble and is Pay-ware. Mo-Search is free and has an integrated Find Duplicate Files tool that uses MD4 to compare files and integrates into Windows Explore: Just right click on a folder to [Find Duplicate Files]. It also groups duplicate files and sorts by wasted space – so you deal with the worst offenders first. Anyway, that is my 2 cents.
