BTJB Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I found great software from Fatih Kodak who seems for me died somewhere somehow. He left as Open Source utilities. Unfortunately his latest renovated "Duplicate File Eraser" jumped from 2.0.2 to 2.1 and during the jump it have big problem. The interface is renovated completely, but the playlist window is the same and... contain wrong list on load! This is the last version at all. No more update come. So, the issue to reproduce: Create two folders called "111" and "222". Copy 10 files. Paste in folder "111". Paste the same content in folder "222". Run DFE and load these folders. Scan. Choose duplicated files. It will select duplicated files in mess order - from folder "111" and folder "222" instead of only folder "222". EXAMPLE: It should be: ------------------- Folder1 Folder2 - checked Folder1 Folder2 - checked Folder1 Folder2 - checked Instead you see: ------------------- Folder1 Folder2 - checked Folder2 Folder1 - checked (wrong) Folder1 Folder2 - checked Folder1 Folder2 - checked Folder2 Folder1 - checked (wrong) and so on...! As you see in that state it chose wrong duplicated files from different random folders, instead from one folder! The previous version 2.0.2 was perfect. The Open Source file you can download from Softpedia together with app and the archive contain the source. His website http://127.0.0.1:43110/17SWVnHoujG92yYGSZvCzPgZEpGVfRF8wi via ZeroNet seems for me kind of backup, but nobody have access to the files. All files of both software (old and new) is HERE - required for compare the changes between and same data code. I know this would be hard work, but there is no other possible way to keep it alive in new interface. So sad. I have already prepared AIO repack with both versions optional install. But i found later this ugly bug. I will be very grateful for the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlston Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Moved from Coder's Corner. Requests for Open Source software is better here. @BTJB A Google search for "duplicate file eraser 2.0.2" (without the quotes, of course) gets some hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyblair Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Thank you Kaarlston for approving the topic of BTJB. @BTJB did you find the source of version 2.0.2 ? The application was written in PureBasic language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All sources are inside archive in my description. Just download and you will find all you need for both versions. 2 minutes ago, tonyblair said: is this the problem you are facing, and this result is before clicking on 'Select duplicates' Yep. That is right. Hope there would be solution from someone, maybe you, your friend or who you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyblair Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 The result I showed you above was achieved by an executable (.exe) I got after I compiled the source of the version 2.1 I didn't use the exe in your zip files. ps: in your zip files , you find only the version 2.1 source, not the 2.0.2 version.

I wasn't able to find the old source. Strange, I thought it is insight. Bad for us. Will continue to looking. 31 minutes ago, tonyblair said: The application was written in PureBasic language. Is it bad for your know-how? I am still looking for 2.0.2 source. Maybe it wasn't available once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyblair Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 About the language, I am more acquited to C++ or Delphi. But don't worry PureBasic is not a big deal. I learn fast lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTJB Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 @tonyblair unfortunately there is no Open Source for previous releases.

tonyblair Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 @BTJB I am debugging the program. more news later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyblair Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Here is my actual findings: The program execute these tasks consequently : 1- List the directories the user added 2- checks there existence 3- cheksif they are empty 4- list all the files in the first directory (name and size) 5- fill a structure X with these datas ( see my picture posted above) 6- list all the files in the second directory (name and size) 7- APPEND THESE DATAS IN THE SAME structure X IN A RANDOM WAY <------------------------- HERE IS THE BUG As you can see in this picture , some files from the second directories were saved in the structure above their copy in the first directory Then when processed the above order remain , and some \222\*.* files will be shown above their copies in \111\*.* Now compare the two pictures and you will understand the bug. I hope that my explanations are not confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyblair Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 After a first attempt to cure the bug programmtically (I like this PureBasic language ) here is the first result : not bad I think is this what you asked for BTJB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTJB Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 I am so sorry for my late @tonyblair! Amazing you fixed the bug! It looks perfect! Everything is fine and the version of the App too! The big mystery is how you recompile to significantly large size? Is it in raw unpacked without compression? The icon is missing also. Good to prepare version x86. A heartfelt thank you!
