The "keep oldest" setting seems to have disappeared between versions 3 and 4, or it has moved to somewhere where I can't find it? For me this makes the new version unusable as I always want the oldest file to be retained and any later ones to be deleted. In certain circumstances inverting the Smart Mark selection results may help, but only if there are exactly two duplicates per group of duplicates. Also, if the "keep oldest" selection does return, can it be made to stick so that it is retained from one execution of NoClone to the next. There are a few other niggles I could point out having upgraded to version 4, but they are mostly grammatical or spelling mistakes, or subjective user interface dislikes, rather than the missing functionality caused by no "keep oldest" setting.    Report

The option keep oldest file is not in the option of Smart Marker but it can be done in another way. In Smart Marker -> Choose mark newer files and mark Choose "Invert", then all oldest files will be marked. If you want to delete those newer files, the above Inverting step is even not needed because newer files are marked and can perform  file action (like deleting). Moreover in NoClone 4, we have an enhanced function that is "don't leave any group be unmarked". It will mark all the groups cannot be marked by Smart Marker criteria (like all files in a group is same in modified date), which makes marking files more efficient. Hope those suggestions help. And Merry Christmas!    Report
