Application :		Duplicate Catcher
Version :		V1.2.2
Release Date: 	12-July-2004

Introduction :
	Duplicate Catcher is an application to identify and remove files which may be duplicated, and so wasting space, within a given directory structure. Aside from matching up exactly identical files, Duplicate Catcher can find files with similar names so copies/alternate versions of files can be matched.

What's New :
	• Corrects some minor UI problems.

Instructions :
i) Installation.
	Simply drag the application to a suitable location on your hard disk.

ii) Operation.
	Launch the application.
	Select a start location in the pop-up menu.
	Select which properties to match files on in the upper box.
	Select which files to exclude in the lower box.
	Click the "Find Duplicates" button to start the search.
	
	The search results window will appear. Click the "X" button in the upper right of that window to abort a search.
		
	When the search is complete a list of groups of possibly duplicated files will appear in the left portion of the window.
	To view a list of the individual files within a group, click on that groups entry.
	To view the path to a file click on the files entry.
	To reveal the file in the Finder double click the files entry.
	
	Duplicate catcher can automatically select files for deletion using the "Select" menu options under the "Edit" menu. (e.g. the Edit->Select->Newest menu option will select the most recently modified file in each of the currently selected groups)

	To move a file to the trash, select it's entry in the files table and press the backspace/delete key.

	To rerun the search with the same start point and parameters, click the circular button in the top right of the results window.

	To start a new search with a different start point or parameters, bring the main window to the fore.
