Thanks for a very useful utility.
Its reasonably fast (so long as you index under 10GB after that its slows down a lot)
its intuitive and easy to use.

Just ONE suggested Improvement:

when in folder tree view can double clicking on the folder OPEN that folder in FINDER directly so a quick inspection of contents be made before I find out I'm deleting the WRONG set! do that and you earn 5 stars all-round.

Very nice, and fast! - Version: 1.0.3, 4/12/2008 05:30AM PST

For years I have looked for the prefect duplicate finder for the Mac and I have tried many. All of them struggled to find the right metaphor for displaying and handling duplicates in an intuitive way. I don't think Chipmunk has it "perfect", but it is the best I've seen. Once you understand what "inside" and "outside" duplicates are it is very quick to scan through your files and move dups to the trash. It took about 2 hours to scan a nearly full 500Gb FireWire drive where I had backed up several drives more than once. I highly recommend this little app.
