October 14, 201114 yr Here are some great Windows file management utilities that I have been using recently with my unRAID. These are all freeware: ExactFile This will make and check md5 files that are compatible with md5deep. Duplicate Cleaner Find and remove duplicate files. Lots of options for matching and selecting what to remove. DeltaCopy Rsync client and server. Not free, but couldn't live without it, unRAID or not: Directory Opus Anyone else found anything good?
October 15, 201114 yr Teracopy http://www.codesector.com/teracopy.php Can pause, skip copying of files, also does crc check Treesizehttp://www.jam-software.com/freeware/ TreeSize Free shows the size of a folder including all subfolders and files. In an Explorer-like style, also the wasted space
October 15, 201114 yr Teracopy http://www.codesector.com/teracopy.php Can pause, skip copying of files, also does crc check I checked out Teracopy a few weeks ago. While it looked nice - the lack of details and options for file comparison turned me off. I use SyncBack - which gives you total control over just about everything. I believe the compare it uses is a byte by byte compare.
October 15, 201114 yr Directory Opus $88 US you got to be kidding. Not for me, you don't happen to have any financial vested interest in that utility do you?
October 17, 201114 yr Author I've been using TreeSize for years as well. No financial interest in DOpus. I just occasionally pay for things that I think are worthwhile, such as unRAID. If you want free stuff for Window 7 check out these lists over at sevenforums: FREE Great Programs for Window 7 Free Native 64-bit programs There are even some interesting free file managers in those lists that I might consider if I hadn't already paid for DOpus. Another free one I use that is on one of those lists is Cobian Backup
October 17, 201114 yr Macrium Reflect http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx?x-free=Y backup solution (automatically backups my pc to the unraid system every Saturday night) also backups once a month the unraid flash drive to my hard drive (have seen some horror stories with flash drives getting wiped but no backup done). If the computer is not on when the backup should be done ,it will do it the next time Was very impressed and went and bought the software £35 if anything happens to my pc, i can boot up using a cd, and it see the unraid system and reload the disk image on the fly.
October 24, 201114 yr The best tools and utilities ever made are from way back in the day and updated....I've been using these for years. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals

October 30, 201114 yr Bulk Rename Untility! This has saved me so much time renaming all those Pokemon episodes http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php Had a quick look at the screen shot of the program, lot of options! the renamer program i use has a nice simple layout (but powerful options) http://www.den4b.com/?x=products&product=renamer I also use it for digital photos to rename all IMG_xxx.jpg to the EXIF date Great thing about is you can save your rename options and reload them any time.
May 30, 201511 yr Notepad++ for editing text files on linux and or windows with the correct line endings for each. This one is a must have for any Windows unRaid user. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ also / Hashdeep, md5deep, sha256deep http://md5deep.sourceforge.net/ Cwrsync or rsync for Windows https://www.itefix.net/content/cwrsync-free-edition
May 30, 201511 yr Notepad++ is very useful for file viewing, searching and editing but what I don't like about it is it caches previous opened files on tabs at the top and I haven't found the option to turn that off anywhere. Drives me nuts.

Drives me nuts. I love that option, means I can keep things I'm working on in the program.

Except that I've found that it's not always 100% perfect in picking up changes in files when they are networked, unless I forcibly hit "reload"

Drives me nuts. I love that option, means I can keep things I'm working on in the program. Except that I've found that it's not always 100% perfect in picking up changes in files when they are networked, unless I forcibly hit "reload" I've never actually used notepad++ since I was already using TextPad before I started using unRAID and it will do many of the same things. I've never had a problem with it picking up changes in network files. I have even had a file open on the network when another process changed it and it prompts me to reload or not. Never meant to resurrect this thread I started years ago when I posted a link to it recently.
June 1, 201511 yr WinDirStat scans all drives and gives you a list of all files and has a visual area showing all files by size and colored by group. great for finding out exactly whats eating up your storage. also good for figuring out what is taking up 30 gigs on the cache drive without digging into each subfolder and then figuring out that Plex is a HDD hog. not sure how to get it up and running on unraid. prob needs a VM. havent gotten there yet!

Drives me nuts. I hated that "feature" too and disabled it. To disable, go into Settings->Preferences->MISC-> and uncheck "Remember current session for next launch".

There is a docker named DUC (Disk Usage Charts) for that.
