Smart Duplicate Finder v1.3

What's new

Right-click menu in the results table. Open file / open folder /
copy path. Opening executables (.exe, .bat, .py, …) is
deliberately disabled — this program never launches an unknown program
with one click. Open the folder instead and decide with your own hands.
Same DNA as "never deletes", now applied to launching.

Two new UI languages: Russian and German. Four languages total
(EN / LT / RU / DE), switched inside the app; the built-in user guide
now comes in all four too. And Lithuanian finally reads like real
Lithuanian — proper diacritics throughout the UI.

HEIC/AVIF in the visual similarity scan. An original iPhone .HEIC
now pairs with its resized .jpg copy — even on a Windows machine that
cannot open HEIC itself. Verified live with a real iPhone 13 photo.
This was the top-voted wish (17 👍) in a competing project's tracker.

Updated built-in guides — the honest "why this program deletes
nothing" story, crash-surviving scan memory, and the full format list.

Honesty notes

  • The RU/DE dictionaries were drafted by the author's local AI
    assistant and reviewed line-by-line by Claude; a handful of invented
    German words were caught and fixed in review. If you spot awkward
    wording — please open an issue, it will be fixed with thanks.
  • The exe grew from 44.8 MB to 51.6 MB — that is the price of HEIC
    support (bundled libheif codec DLLs). We measured trimming it and
    documented why it is not possible (BUILD.md).

Every feature in this release was verified by hand on a live machine
by Robertas, including the packed exe.

VirusTotal: 4/67 engines flag it - all four
are generic machine-learning heuristics (Wacatac.C!ml, grayware_confidence_60%
and similar), the standard fate of an unsigned PyInstaller exe; the major engines
(Avast, Avira, BitDefender, ClamAV, Kaspersky, ESET) report it clean. False-positive
reports are being filed with the flagging vendors. Don't take our word for it:
the source is public - build the exe yourself with BUILD.md and compare checksums.
