Managing Projects

Top  Previous  Next

Duplicate File Detective projects are managed with a range of commands accessible via the main application toolbar and the File menu. These include:

 

The Project Wizard - Used to quickly create and launch a new Duplicate File Detective project. This is a great way to get started with new projects.
New Project - Used to create a new project with default search folders, exclusions (excluded folders), and other project settings. The project can then be modified in whatever way suits your needs.
Open Project - Allows you to open an existing project file (e.g. "filename.dfd").
Save Project - Used to save the active project. The toolbar button will appear "enabled" only when unsaved changes to the current project are pending.
Run Project - Used to execute the currently defined project.

 

Tip: You can also load projects by double-clicking on a project filename (a file with a .dfd extension) from outside of Duplicate File Detective (from Windows explorer, for example).
