Diskoryx v1.0.3

A faster scan pipeline, new ways to explore your storage, and more control over saved results — with disk analysis kept offline.

New features

  • Duplicate Finder: analyze a selected drive, explore the largest duplicate groups in an interactive chart, and search, sort or expand matching paths. Defaults to user files, with an explicit entire-drive option. Duplicate matches require full-file SHA-256 verification; nothing is automatically deleted.
  • Saved scans: save scan metadata to a local .diskoryxscan file and reopen it read-only without scanning the source drive.
  • Compare: compare a saved scan with a fresh scan of its original location to see added, removed and metadata-changed files.
  • Advanced search: filename wildcards, size and modification-date conditions, and AND / OR / NOT expressions.
  • Portable edition: launch without installation. Settings and history still use %APPDATA%\Diskoryx V1.
  • Source CLI: read-only folder scanning and CSV export through Node.js.

Performance and usability

  • Faster MFT data transfer and indexing.
  • Duplicate analysis reuses completed full-drive inventories, filters unique sizes, samples large candidates before full hashing, and validates metadata concurrently.
  • Compact duplicate dashboard with summary cards, top-group charts and paged results.
  • Improved multi-drive selection, cached-location switching, Copy/Move destination navigation and completion feedback.
  • Updated documentation, screenshots and benchmark evidence.

Measured scan performance

Three repeated real C: MFT scans per version on the same machine, covering approximately 774,500 files:

Version Median scan + indexing time
v1.0.1 7.951 s
v1.0.3 4.400 s

44.7% less scan/indexing time in this local comparison. These were warm/repeated runs on a changing NTFS volume, not cold-cache trials or a universal speed guarantee. Scanner timings exclude UAC waiting.

Reliability and security

  • Fixed Compare cancellation, lost live notifications after Copy/Move, and volume-identity preservation when re-saving scan archives.
  • Prevented CLI exports from overwriting a racing destination without --force.
  • Added resource budgets and cancellation checks for costly saved-scan imports.
  • Passed 406 regression tests, 6 Rust tests and 28 automated Electron interface scenario groups, with additional packaged-launch and Windows integration checks.

Downloads

  • Diskoryx-Setup-1.0.3.exe — Windows x64 per-user installer.
  • Diskoryx-Portable-1.0.3.exe — Windows x64 install-free launcher.
  • SHA256SUMS-1.0.3.txt — checksums for both executables.

Important notes

  • This is an unsigned, early testing release. Windows SmartScreen may display a warning.
  • Launch Diskoryx normally, not as administrator. Only the separate NTFS scanner requests UAC.
  • Diskoryx reports logical file sizes, not allocated “Size on disk”.
  • Duplicate contents are not proof that a file is safe to remove. Reused inventories describe the last completed scan; Rescan to include newer files.
  • Compare checks paths, sizes and recorded modification dates, not file contents or renames.
  • A known low-severity Windows shell recycle race remains: a concurrent process with relevant directory-modification rights can change an item between validation and recycling. No privilege escalation was demonstrated. Keep backups and avoid file actions in actively contested/shared directories.
  • Clean-account installation/uninstallation acceptance remains outstanding; automated checks do not certify every Windows configuration.

Disk analysis stays local. Saved scans and CSV files may contain private names and paths — inspect them before sharing.

Support development

Diskoryx is free, with no paid feature restrictions.
