It's A Digital Disease!

Hi everyone,

I’m using dupeGuru to find duplicate photos, but I’m running into two big problems, and I’m wondering if I’m missing a setting or doing something wrong.

1. It doesn’t find all duplicates in one scan! I have a large photo collection (over 100,000 files). When I run dupeGuru, it only finds some hundred duplicates. Then, after deleting them and scanning again, it finds more. I have to repeat this process many times. Is there a way to make it find all duplicates in one go?
2. Sometimes when I find duplicates, I can’t select them to delete right inside the app (the checkbox is greyed out). Instead, I have to click the result, open the folder, and manually delete the file in Explorer.

Any help or tips would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
