![]() In my case I had the RAW color image, the TIFF processed with sepia effect, 8 other versions of the same image taken with the burst, 2 TIFF of another version and a further TIFF in a subfolder. These are all very useful criteria for deciding which files to keep and which ones to select for deletion. I must say that I am really impressed by the power of this software and by the way of recognizing similar files.Īs you can see from the screen I have a file in 13 potentially similar versions, and these are sortable through the highlighted icons: the road sign sorts the results according to the route, the calendar by date, the weight based on the space occupied on disk and the asterisk by extension. In the Similar Files section there are the files that are not formally the same, but they are similar in many aspects (we think of RAW and JPG of the same photograph, or of a sequence made with the burst). But now let’s move on to the interesting part of the software, especially if you are dealing with photos. All the files that we will select in this section are actually duplicates, and if we do not need them, it will be useful to eliminate space. In my case there are no other types, but I think the list of filters is dynamic, so if there is music there will also be the music filter and so on. In this section we can filter between all duplicates, Folders, Images and Videos. On the left we have a sidebar where we can filter the results based on what interests us.ĭuplicate identical: the files and folders are completely identical, in all respects. You can also restart the scan using the appropriate button on the top left, perhaps to add other folders to check.Īs soon as we click on Check duplicates we will be taken to the verification screen. The operation lasted very little, only 5 minutes, much less than I expected.Īt this point the screen shows us how much space we could free if we deleted all the duplicates found, but first we must pass (and rightly) from the verification phase, by clicking on the Check duplicates button. ![]() In our test I decided to feed Gemini 2 a hard disk where I keep the jobs waiting for delivery, at the time of testing the size of the space occupied was 303 GB. We have a single central button available to add the folders or hard drives we want to control, or we can simply drag the paths on the window from the Finder (actually there is also a smaller, star-shaped button at the top right showing your ranking, but I do not think it has any real usefulness).Īs soon as we have selected the folder, the screen will be changed and you are ready to add more or by clicking on Search duplicates will start the actual scan. The software of this house are generally well designed and in line with the latest news of the graphic interface of the Apple operating system, and of course Gemini 2 is no exception.Īs you can see from the screen at the top, the app comes with a clean and really essential graphic interface, with the logo on the left, a big button with the plus sign in the middle and the caption on the right, all on a gray gradient background which makes it sober and elegant. Gemini 2 is a software to search for duplicate files designed by MacPaw, author of the excellent app CleanMyMac 3 and CleanMyDrive 2 to mention the most famous.
