Being the German translator for Similarity, I am probably just as biased as you are :D - but having "no video files" as a negative point when comparing duplicate music scanners is an interesting decision... another Similarity non-issue is:
No filters or automatic duplicate marking
My duplicates usually have good reasons, except if they don't. Automatically marking duplicates would be weird - how would Similarity decide which one I'd like to keep?
i-DeClone began its life as a tool inside our xplorer², so it feels almost as a file manager.
It does not. :mrgreen:

where did I say similarity doesn't do videos? And at any rate if a program does music AND videos, then it's an advantage, no?

ps. I didn't know you were also doing translations... perhaps there's a vacancy for xplorer2, interested? The previous guy has gone AWOL

In the comparison table, labeled “Information correct as of 7-Feb-2023”.

Not every feature is an advantage per se. My bike can’t cook, it still is a better bike than others. :)

In theory, yes. Be aware that my Windows usage has declined though, so I’m not quite as ready all the time anymore than back in the day.
