When deleting a duplicate file, have an option to also replace the duplicate with a link back to the original file. Often, there is a logical reason I have a file in two locations because it 'fits' in two different folders, but I do not need both fi

Offer native 64 bit support also include user selectable means of detection i.e. CRC, Md5, byte by byte, as well as simple name and size algorithms

It would be nice if we could change the settings so that we can view the results with the date format of month-day-year (not the current setting).

Add options to select duplicate criteria: size, content, name, date

Two files are duplicates only if they have same content, so that has to be the final test to ensure they are really duplicates, but it takes a lot of time to compare all files. Options to narrow down which files to search can be size, date, name,...

I wish, however, that they will list them one line per file but multiple columns per drive as one does comparisons between, say, 3 different versions of s/w. This will allow one to kill one column ipo going through the list line by line.

Deal with duplicate files more than one at a time. I was presented with a list of over 5000 duplicate files and expected to select them one-by-one. Which (at one per second) would take an hour and a half, and be extremely tedious...

Have a selection option for file type you are trying to find duplicates of, this will hasten the processes eg *.mp3 *.avi etc

many times duplicate names for pictures are given especially if you delte the pics from the camera and then it changes the file name to a duplicate you already have in your computer. it would be great if this program can isolate duplicate pictures ev

be able to have pairs with deleted results automatically removed from duplicate list. I know it tints them red, but if you have a long list, I think it's more useful just to remove them from the list entirely.

Hard links should be detected and managed separately. As it stands, I have to scan hundreds of false duplicates because I share file contents between two hierarchies.

I would like to have only the duplicate files detected leaving the original file intact.This would be far faster, much easier and more effective.

When identifying duplicates make sure that the sizes are the same. There could be more than one file with a particular name and both may be needed. By matching file size, you could know that you're not deleting a needed or wanted file.

Make a default place for all originals to go. (example, video files go to video folder, etc) and replace where the original (and duplicates) were with a shortcut.)

Just to add, I'm not sure if it has this: If it could find shortcuts that didn't lead to a file were deleted as well. Plenty of times I uninstall a program, and shortcuts are left behind.
