Nice. Only problem is that the results window isn't really <i><b>good enough</b></i>, it could really do with some column sorting. Otherwise, you have to scroll and check each group of duplicates individually... I don't think I can do that. Maybe a feature request is in order.

Sounds like that last bit may be just what you need [Jono] for your wife's regular work laptop dumps.

My wife dumps the contents of her work laptop on me to back up for her every few weeks. So I have folders called 'Laptop 31/1/07', 'Laptop 28/2/07' etc. containing her work, & the duplicate files are piling up. I tried TidyUp before but it looked like I really needed to read up on how to use it before understanding it properly. Good find, this is just what I need.

I was doing this manually before with some shell jiggery-pokery, but this is much less painful :) Nice.
