SMF - The fastest duplicate files finder... [Updated 2024-Oct-20]


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

KaFu,

Thanks for everything, your MVP guys...i just have to learn ;)

I have a little "request", sorry if bother you. On the first page i have see:

added trimmed md5 short calculation (false md5, but sufficient for dup-search and a great speed improvement!)

Well, i need a function like that. I need to take a file ( can be 1MB or 7GB, this is the main problem ) and get a CRC, MD5 or whatever ( faster way is the better way ) and keep it for future reference/comparing. Your code isn't the best well commented i have ever seen, without any offense i have a great respect :D

Can you just extract that "trimmed md5 short calculation" and make a little UDF/Func? Something easy like:

Func MD5ShortCalc($sFilePath)
; code
Return $MD5ShortCalc
EndFunc

Thanks again

Here you go :)... I'll add some comments on the technique and limitations later on, have to go now.

Edit #1:

The functions is reading the first 8kb, 8kb from the middle and 8kb from the end of the file. Based on these 24kb a hash is calculated. In SMF I use this hash plus the exact filesize in byte to look for duplicates, when hash and filesize are the same the files are most likely the same. In theory this method is of course prone for false positives, in practice I've never encountered a problem. What might be a problem is the structure of the file, in SMF e.g. I exclude "doc;docx;ppt;pptx;xls;xlsx" files from this method and perform a full md5 for those, as these files contain huge chunks of meta-data. But combined with the filesize assessment this method should be quite save and really quick. And on the other hand it should not produce false negatives at least :)...

Edit #2:

Replaced FileGetSize() with internal function to make it save for large files (you mentioned 7GB).

Edit #3:

Cleaned up some unnecessary variables used in other parts of SMF :)...

My respect thanks. I'll try and i'll post the result. So from your experience is hard to get false-positive ( yes before comparing i'll check the size ) but why 8Kb * 3? And not 10-12 etc.

Increasing that value in theory decrease the chance of false-positive but increase the time of md5 calculation

I don't understand this line:

Replaced FileGetSize() with internal function to make it save for large files (you mentioned 7GB)

Why? For me FileGetSize work with big file:

$sSize = FileGetSize("C:\Path\BigFile.iso")
ConsoleWrite("RESULT: " & ($sSize/1073741824) & " GB"& @CRLF)
RESULT: 7.10991006496472 GB

There is something i don't know about FileGetSize? The result is different for you?

Anyway is very very fast, i'd like only to know about FileGetSize :blink:

Last, if i want to increase the 8kb i need just to edit this line:

Global $__MD5_Hash_Calculation_Short_Factor = 8192

Like 16384 or the code need more changes? Thanks

Is there something i don't know about FileGetSize? The result is different for you?

 

Nope, my fault, I just thought FileGetSize has problems with files > 2GB, in fact it was fixed some 10 years ago (3.0.102)  o:) .

The 8192 bytes is just a try & error value which I determined in course of developing SMF, worked always fine for me. Changing $__MD5_Hash_Calculation_Short_Factor to a different value should dynamically adjust the needed buffers and should work fine.

One more thing, in SMF I use the default full hash (use standard _Crypt_HashFile() function) for files smaller 3 * $__MD5_Hash_Calculation_Short_Factor (in the example above 24kb), I guess the results will not be consistent otherwise (e.g. if you reuse the function, some parts of the buffer might still contain data from the last file).

Pratically yesterday :D

I'll leave the buffer as is, i'll put FileGetSize and i'll clean the buffer if i re-use the function. Thanks

I doubt anyone has ^_^. I thought about it, but currently I'm still happy with 3.3.8.1, as I managed to code around any limitation or bug I've encountered. I'm preparing to release v10 sometime soon, maybe I'll (try to) update the code to the most recent AU version.

Meanwhile you might want to give the latest v10 Beta a try and let me know if it works for you ;)...

Hello !

Run SMF__Main_v12_0_0_0.au3,  Using the default settings and selecting the folders search, Later Tray display prompt "Report process not started within 3 seconds."

A possibility to test the report uncompiled is to perform a search first, quit the program, then change the first var "Global Const $iTest_Report" from 0 (main program) to 1 (search report) or 2 (duplicates search report) and restart the script.

KaFu,

I just tried this program and I must say I am impressed. Earlier today, I tried a trial version of a professional program and it found the duplicates, but took over 2 minutes to do so (and it would not delete any files unless you bought a license). Then I searched for a duplicate file script on this forum. When I found yours, I was surprised how sophisticated and how many features it has. Lastly, yours found the duplicates in just a few seconds! Your script is better than one that costs money.

Thanks for your hard work. This one is a keeper.
