Description

Tidy Up 6 is the new generation of duplicate finders and disk tidiness. It's the only fully-featured duplicate remover available on the market. Tidy Up is designed for pro users that need a modern and efficient tool.

Tidy Up 6 is a modern, efficient and totally customizable app. Below are just a few of the major new features.

Tidy Up 6 runs native on Apple Silicon and Intel microprocessors. Supports the Light and Dark Apparance modes.

Tidy Up 6 can search in Lightroom, Photos, Music, Mail and Contacts.

Possibility to search for hard links or exclude them from the search and replace the found items with hard links.

Search for unique items gains strength: it’s now possible to use multiple criteria to search for unique items (items that have no duplicates).

Possibility to handle the found items at the administrator level: just allow the installation of the privileged tool and do the cleaning job. This is particularly useful to clean up old Time Machine backups.

Tidy Up 6 organizes the result separating the found items by file kinds, (music, images, PDFs, folders, etc.). It's completely customizable and allows you to add more file kinds at your choice. The organization of the result is based on the tab separation and each tab has its settings, such as smart boxes, separation by searched sources, view by grid or list etc.

Tidy Up 6 comes with a search mode called Simple Mode, which includes more than 80 pre-defined smart searches.
Advanced mode, it is the most customized method offered on the market. It allows you to find only the needed item kinds by refining in depth the criteria to use when performing the search.

Tidy Up 6 is fast and accurate. It doesn't index the scanned volumes, so you don't waste additional precious space.

Tidy Up 6 shows the information by file type for an easy and efficient removal.

The result is shown by grid or list. The items are divided by kind and each tab kind can be customized.

For a quick and easy organization, found items can be separated through the use of "Smart Boxes".
For example, smart boxes can be used to separate the items belonging to a specific album, playlist or mailbox of the supported app (i.e. Photos, Music, Mail, etc.).

The removing view has many features that include:
- Remove the marked, unmarked or all items;
- Replace the removed files with hard links, symbolic links or aliases;
- Move or copy the items to a specific location instead of deleting them.

Moreover, it is always possible to restore the removed items in case a mistake was made.
It is also possible to save the result to continue the cleaning job at a later time.

Excellent algorithm, held back by poor keyboard controls

Great algorithm, never ceases to amaze. Been using it since v3

However, a major flaw is the lack of proper keyboard controls. You can navigate the file list with arrow keys and spacebar to mark files to delete. But once marked, the window loses focus, and you can no longer use your keyboard. So, you only mark one file! Then you have to click back with your mouse. For a list of hundreds of files, this is a big waste of time. Spacebar makes sense as the default button, but doesn't work quite right.

Also, if you want to mark/unmark a group of files, you can only select 100 at a time for some reason. I will sometimes want to unmark all files in the list and go in and manally select them all. This prevents me from unmarking everything.

I've notified the developer about it as far back as v4, but so far nothing's been done. Here's hoping you address this issue. I'm rooting for you and your apps! Cheers!

Developer Response ,

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

The best and easiest way to manage the result items manually is:
1) select some items (less that 100)
2) choose the "New Box with selection" menu item under the File menu
3) drag on the new created box all the other items you want to manage
4) select that box and manage the items inside.

I hope this helps.

If you still have question, feel free to contact me using the support address.
