After a scan is complete, the GUI displays a list of duplicate file groups. Each group contains 2 or more files which have been determine to be duplicate. The user can select menu option Selection->[Select Lowest duration/Quality], which will check all the files in each group with the lowest duration or quality. This will leave the file with the longest duration and/or highest quality deselected. The user can then select menu option Action->[Delete from disk], which will delete all the selected files.
- In the original fork 0x90d/videoduplicatefinder, all actions apply to filtered out items as well as viewable items. This makes it easy for a users to accidentally delete 100's of files unintentionally.
- Media File Duplicate Finder does NOT delete files which are filtered out. What you see is what gets deleted. No hidden deletes!
- On program startup, sets the window size and position from the previous running instance.

- Always_Save
- Never_Save
- Prompt_to_Save.

- Shorter file name option has been added to menu option Selection->[Select lowest duration/quality and shortest file-name]
- Allows the shortest file name to be selected for deletion if the files have the same duration and quality.
