Managing the results

When the scan is finished, the result list and buttons are enabled.

Mark files for removal

The file icons next to each entry help to distinguish between the sets of duplicate files: they alternate between dark and bright every other set, as do the backgrounds. Additionally they act as checkboxes. Every file you check by clicking its icon will be deleted when you click "Delete checked files".

Check files automatically

To the left of the result list you can find a number of buttons that automate the task of checking files. For example you can mark multiple files with the mouse and check all these files at once by clicking "Check selected files". Clicking "Check the first dupes" automatically checks the first file of every pair, the first two of every triple etc. DoubleKiller Pro also allows to check files dependant on their filename, path, date or size and offers sorting and regrouping functions, enabling you to automatically check e.g. the oldest files of each set.

View files

By doubleclicking an entry the corresponding file is opened/executed and using its context menu (right mouseclick) you can also open the directory it is located in.

Exporting results

It is also possible to export the result list to a textfile readable by both humans and your favourite spreadsheet application like OpenOffice.org Calc or Microsoft Excel. To do so, right-click the result list and choose "Export all entries...". In DoubleKiller Pro you can even export the results to a binary file that can be reloaded any time later.
