Hey
One of my favourite applications has had a new update. Tidy Up!, now on to version 1.3.4 it boasts a couple of new enhancements. Tidy Up! is designed to be your one stop shop for finding and managing duplicate files and folders on your hard drive. It is designed to search your hard drive through a few specific terms and present them to you in a very easy to use and intuitive interface. You can then take action and easily clean up on disk space.
Users may search the contents of iPhoto, iTunes, iPod databases or Mail mailboxes by tag, the duration and bit installments of MP3 and AAC sound files, as well as synchronize deletions with iPhoto, Mail and iTunes. It offers simple integration between Finder for Trashing copying and simply viewing files. Although you could use just Finder this app enables you to find every duplicate file with the same name. It is immense. As well as this it runs like lightening, within a couple of seconds it has found 4,000+ files with the same name.
Feature highlights include:
- Improved compatibility with System 10.5.2
- Added compatibility with iPhoto 7.1.3
- Fully Customizable Workspace
It is a very useful piece of kit. You can add parameters to narrow down your search to specific folders. For user convenience, Tidy Up ships with a list of commonly used tasks, fully customizable and allows users to create their preferred workspace. However for quick and easy organization, one of the most useful features is the Strategy Wizard which ends up, in my experience been used frequently. Based on user defined choices, Strategy Wizard will create a customized workflow with the appropriate criteria to search for duplicates, and then separates found items via the new “Smart Baskets” that contain those items to be removed.
It is very powerful yet it doesn’t need a supercomputer to operate. The specs are quite minimal.
Minimum Requirements:
- Mac OS X Version 10.3.9 or higher
- Full Tiger and Leopard compatibility
- Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel
- 12 MB Hard Drive space
Language Support:
- English, French, German and Japanese
If you want a piece of software that can help you find duplicate files and folders it costs £30, which isn’t to bad. There is, of course, a free trial download which you can use to test the waters before purchase. Check it out, see if it works, if not Trash it. I love it.
