Bugs / Re: No duplicates found when Image Comparison set higher than 95%

« on: November 12, 2014, 21:42:47 »

Do you have results higher 97 with 50% thresholds ? Do you replaced Decoder.exe file in your beta Similarity folder with new one from zip archive ?

Bugs / Re: ALAC streams being reported as AAC

« on: November 02, 2014, 01:00:56 »

Similarity doesn't transcode between compressed formats it just "asks" decoders to give him pure PCM audio stream, then work with this audio data. In your situation it's just wrong stream format, our QuickTime decoder doesn't fill stream type, this field filled by file extension parser. We try to change this behaviour in next version.

Wishlist / Re: Scan a folder and compare it with the whole library

« on: October 19, 2014, 20:18:30 »

we already have solution for comparing old library with new ones, just use folder groups, please, read (Tutorial Part 2). Similarity doesn't have command line feature yet.

Bugs / Re: Slow scanning even with cache

« on: October 15, 2014, 20:37:03 »

Not N! it's N^2. N! very big values.
1) no, cache used as binary tree search time always log(N), it's only take time to load data and take RAM.
2) reasonable suggestion, we think about "purge cache" button.
3) yes cache uses absolutly pathes, because how we can found file equivalence ? For calculation hash or checksum we need disk access that takes time.

Bugs / Re: Slow scanning, crashes, etc

Yes, for 100K files main problem is algorithm complexity, for Similarity it's N^2. That means for 1000 files it takes 1000^2 = 10^6 ephemeral units of time, 100000 files it takes 100000^2 = 10^10 ephemeral units of time, difference 10000 times, not 100 as for linear complexity. Very big speed improvement can be achieved by duration check, it skips many unnecessary comparisons, but complexity still N^2.
We working right now on 4th algorithm (in truth 5th, Similarity already have 4 audio algorithms, 2 of them just mixed by name "precise" one for long songs, one for short), it must have linear complexity, but work still in progress, we don't think we can release it in next version.
In current versions better solution to limit comparison areas by limiting selected folders or using folder groups and cleaning/moving cache.

The probem in the new Nvidia drivers, we already written ticket to them. Old ones works perfectly. In debug mode they crahes system at all, video driver restarted.

Norton flagged beta 1.9.2 as suspicious.

Because beta files doesn't have digital signature and didn't known yet, for Norton all such files suspicious.

Use portable mode, just add "/portable" command argument. After this Similarity stores all caches and configuration in same folder with exe module.

To compare new base and old one, you need to use folder groups http://www.similarityapp.com/tutorial#part2.
And we working on new optimization scheme with new comparing algorithm right now.
