DupScout Filter Duplicate Files By Year

One of the most powerful features of the DupScout duplicate files finder is the ability to filter duplicate files search results using one or more user-specified filters and then categorize filtered results and display statistical pie charts. For example, in order to display a pie chart showing the amount of duplicate disk space per file extension for duplicate files that were modified during the last two years, set the file categorization mode to 'Categorize By Modification Year', select one or more years to show the information for, press the right mouse button over the file filters view and select the 'Apply Selected Filters' menu item.

In a similar way, the user can filter duplicate files search results by the file type, size, user name, file attributes, creation, modification and last access dates and then display various types of charts showing the duplicate disk space or the number of duplicate files according to user-specific needs.

DupScout Duplicate Files Select Timeline Chart

Another powerful capability is the ability to display the duplicate disk space timeline charts for all or filtered duplicate files search results. In the simplest case, press the 'Charts' button located on the main toolbar and select the 'Duplicate Files Per Modification Year' menu item. DupScout will display a time line chart showing how much duplicate data was modified per year. In order to display how many duplicate files were modified per year, set the chart mode to 'Number Of Duplicates Per Modification Year'.

DupScout Duplicate Files Timeline Chart

In addition, the user is provided with the ability to display timeline charts for filtered duplicate files search results. For example, in order to display how many duplicate documents were created per year, set the file categorization mode to 'Categorize By File Type', select the 'Documents, Books and Help Files' file category, press the right mouse button and select the 'Apply Selected Filters' menu item. Now, press the 'Charts' button located on the main toolbar, and select the 'Duplicate Files Per Creation Year' menu item.
