What is a Project?

In Duplicate File Detective, a Project is comprised of all the attributes that define the current duplicate file scan. These include the current filter criteria (such as filename masks, etc.), search paths, exclusion folders, file matching methods, and more.

One of Duplicate File Detective's most powerful features is its ability to save and load the projects you define for later use. Duplicate File Detective does this with project files, which have a filename extension of DFD (e.g. "my-dup-project.dfd"). Double-clicking a project file in Windows Explorer will cause Duplicate File Detective to load and launch the project.

For more information, see the Managing Projects section of this help file.
