The main window

The Duplicate Cleaner window has a navigation bar down the left-hand side, and the current page on the right.

The navigation bar lists, from the top:

  • Home - the Home page, where you create new scans, import saved ones, and see all the scans you have open.
  • Your scans - one entry for each open scan, showing its name and its current status. A progress bar runs under the name while the scan is working. Click a scan to go to it. You can have up to 10 scans open at once.
  • Tools - standalone tools: virtual folders, the hash tool and the empty folder remover.
  • Settings - settings that apply to the whole program.
  • Log - the log file of everything Duplicate Cleaner has done.

At the bottom of the bar are the Registration and Help buttons.

The arrow button at the top of the bar expands or collapses it. Collapsed, the bar shows icons only, giving more room to the page.

The Tools, Settings and Log pages have a Back button at the top, which returns you to the page you came from.

Each scan has a row of tabs across the top, which follow the order of a typical scan:

The results tabs only appear once there are results to show. See Setting up a scan for the Save and Close buttons.

On macOS, the application menu has Help, Register and About items. About opens the About page in Settings.
