Here’s the easy to use and powerful tool that many OS users are looking for: FDF (Find Duplicate Files) for Leopard.
The aim of this application is to find duplicates on any Leopard based Macintosh computer, as you can see in the screenshot below, the application is very simple, what you can’t see is how fast it is:

In this screenshot, I asked FDF to look for duplicates in my iDisk and it found 9,084 duplicates on a total of 22,724 files scanned!! I’m very paranoid in my backups through my iDisk it seems

Finding duplicates with this amazing application can be done in 2 steps:
Step 1, click on the + and select the folder(s) (or drive(s)) you want it to fetch for duplicates in,
Step 2, click on the “find duplicates” button.

It is that easy! I saved approximatively a GB of disk space thanks to this application and of course got rid of many duplicate files.
You can give it a try by downloading a 7 days free version of FDF from Araxis website.
