that's why they have these things called "backups". You might try them sometime.Friday, February 09 2007 @ 11:50 AM PST

A truely fatuous reply. Not everyone has the hardware nor software to do a full backup. This has always been the Achilles heel of OSX and Macs.Backups in my experience can exacerbate the problem of disorganisation as they create yet another set of files to be resolved. A client of mine has a chain of harddrives full of junk he dare not touch as he really doesn't know what state of progresss they represent.

After all that is what Tidy Up is supposed to fix.

I see both sides of this debate. I currently have 2 full external drives full of photos, where I -know- there are lots of duplicates. I've also lost some data (hopefully no photos, though) through combinations of hardware crashes and inconsistent operator/user mangaement.The cost of external drives these days are such that frankly, there's no reason not to buy one.
It is a legitimate question to ask what the application should have done differently to prevent this kind of situation. Me, I'd say that I'd always keep the largest file, when all other things are equal.

Maybe you should pay attention to what you are doing before deleting files. You made that decision - not the software.Saturday, March 03 2007 @ 07:27 AM PST

This to me seems like a dangerous product-one wrong move and zip!-your files are gone. Even if you know what you are doing, there are so many dupe files that you have no idea what they do, that deleting ONE of them can cause a breakdown.Dont use an iPod? should you delete ANY of them stored in PRIVATE FRAMEWORKS, your Mac will not start up.
Whats an iPod file got to do with the system startup-?
Thats what I would like to know...

iphoto duplicates deleted - furbyjinmd
I'm 62 and smart enough to know I should also perform a BACKUP of everything BEFORE I begin such an operation as trashing duplicates. Again, don't blame the software for your shortcomings and negative thinking. Sorry for your loss--expensive lesson. Join a user group and pay attention to what they say to avoid such mishaps in the future.My photos are so valuable to me I also burn a CD of them for additional security.
