CnW-FM, duplicate file finder is developing well.

The main objective is to a be very simple to use application to discovery multiple files saved over multiple disk drives on a PC.  This is in addition to multiple duplicate files on a single disk drive.

The latest update now allows to select the type of drive to search for.  This may be photos, music etc and before the end of November 2024 the use can select specific file types - based on extensions.

 New Development.  I am working on a program to assist in finding duplicate files on a PC.  

The current super 'beta' version will show duplicate files on a single drive, but within the next week or two this will extend to duplications over several disk drives, or network drives.

The intention is to save space on one hand, and to ensure there are duplicates for critical files

 Sale to Disk Drill.  

 About 12 months ago (Sept 2023)  I was approached by Disk Drill (Clever Files Inc) with an interest in purchasing the CnW Recovery software, in particular GPR that processes fragmented video files.  The offer was a vey fair one which I accepted.  

The main intention is so that Disk Drill will be able to process fragmented video files.  The now have all the CnW, and GPR source code and it has been a very interesting year answering their very detailed questions on  why I did certain routines.  Much of my development has been looking for patterns that can be searched for and then processing the data.  Disk Drill have often used a slightly different approach by analysing the patterns that should be seen.  Their solution to absorb 10-15 years of  my development have not taken place overnight, but internal tests are now generating valid files.  Once complete, the CnW programs will be retired.

Another interesting aspect at looking at a different data recovery program is they way Disk Drill operates.  CnW disk recovery worked largely on analysing partial file systems, while Disk Drill is much more intelligent data carving.  Each way has it's advantages, but overall Disk Drill does find files, and does not require the user input that CnW does at times require.  I will be sorry to see 'my baby' retire, but look forward to an improved version of Disk Drill
