it does all the things I want it to, but it also duplicates files with no prompt of there being duplicates. so I try to go through and manually delete the duplicates, but it crashes and does not delete the duplicates. I gotta try only a couple files to delete and sometimes it works, but crashes more often than not.

just installed, but it can't support sub-folders, within a main folder, so no good to me. I'd come back here, is you can make that happen. for more in uninstalling... shame
