Re: Bytessence DuplicateFinder (v1.1, 05Jan2010)

Version 1.2 released. Here is the list of changes:
- The program now writes an UTF8 BOM in the file when exporting the duplicate list
- Corrected a translation string
- The program jumps to the second page after pressing 'New scan'
- If a CHM file can't be found the user will be notified and BDF will use the English help
- Fixed the 'Translation author' field (Settings dialog) not showing correct information
- Added the German translation and help file in the package (thanks to Vera)
Interesting ideas, these should speed up the processing. I'll try to implement them in one of the future versions. One thing that i'll probably need help with is the threaded CRC32 as I don't have too much experience in writing multithreaded code.Rescator wrote:Here's a tip!
If you are able to detect if the two files to be compared are on different devices. (two different HD's or DVD and HD etc.)
Then you could just do a byte compare as that should be slightly faster than doing CRC32 + bytecompare, as CRC32 reads every byte anyway.
However if the files are on the same device then doing CRC32 is faster as you do sequential read of one file then sequential of the other obviously.
Another tip is that you could also do CRC32 using two threads and use large filebuffers.
