The Mode frame


This frame is for selecting which pools are used for a scan. It offers five options:

1. Compare files within Pool 1: CloneSpy will process only those files that belong to a drive or folder added to Pool 1. All of these files which pass the restrictions made in the Options window will be checked against each other.



2. Compare files within Pool 2: Same as above, but with Pool 2.



3. Compare Pool 1 to Pool2: CloneSpy will compare the files that belong to a drive or folder in Pool 1 to the files that belong to a drive or folder in Pool 2. The files in Pool 1 will not be checked against each other, just as the files in Pool 2 will not be checked against each other. This option is handy if you have already checked your system for duplicates, but subsequently add a folder of new files. You can insert the new folder in Pool 1, and all the other folders you want to check in Pool 2.



4. Compare Pool 1 to CSC-file(s): CloneSpy will compare the files in drives and folders contained in Pool 1 to the file data stored in the checksum files inserted to the Checksum files frame.



5. Compare Pool 2 to CSC-file(s): Same as above, but with Pool 2.

Note: Remember that all acquired files are checked against all restrictions defined in the Options window. This may mean that the number of files scanned will be less than the actual number of files residing in folders or on the drives added to the scanned pool.
