DigitalVolcano Software Support

I would like to request the development of a native macOS version of Duplicate Cleaner Pro. Currently, the software is Windows-only, which means macOS users like myself have to rely on virtualization or compatibility layers, which can be inconvenient and sometimes limit performance or features.
With the growing number of users on macOS (especially creative professionals who manage large image/media libraries), a native macOS app would open the software to a wider audience and make it much more accessible. Many competing duplicate finder tools already offer cross-platform support, and adding macOS would be a valuable enhancement

This is in progress! Duplicate Cleaner 6.0 will be cross platform, with macOS and possibly Linux support.
I have no release date yet, but early versions are looking very promising.

in the meantime can you give us a short howto to get this running in WINE? i absolutely love this piece of software and the only way to get it running is through a 'doze VM (I would never run a microslop OS on baremetal) and that's way too much overhead. i know there are FOSS alternatives but they suck and that's why I bought v.5.
you got a list of the winetricks components I need? coreutils, corefonts, dotnet something? if this can go platinum on winehq.org, you could market this to us linux users now instead of waiting for v.6!

so far i have it running with a windows 7 32 bit environment with .net 4.7.2, but it has problems with registration, and i'm not sure if it needs an encryption library (ncrypt.dll?), or it simply can't access the registration server. there's also the issue of context menus being completely black. not sure if it needs a GDI library. aside from that, it seems to work fine at finding duplicates, but i'm limited because it's not taking my registration key.

It'll mainly be the default .net 4.7.2 libraries (eg system.security.encryption for licensing - which may call ncrypt, i'm not sure) and any other dlls should be provided in the installation folder.
The context menus should be standard WPF - could be a theme issue?

I'm not a WINE expert - it's possible that someone else on the forum has got it to run.

i managed to get rid of the black menus by setting the renderer to GDI
there's a registry hack to get it working inside the prefix by setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\renderer to string "gdi", but of course there is no "Direct3D" key nor is there a renderer string by default. the only thing i'm hung up on is the registration, and that could be either ncrypt or something with internet (wininet.dll?), but that's unlikely since most of my home folder is mounted NFS and samba shares.
sorry i'm not much of an expert on 'doze. i bought a new laptop that had 11 installed, hated it, and promptly upgraded it to gentoo.
oh, fwiw, i tried it in bottles and couldn't even get the installer to run. definitely not a fan of containerized apps. sandboxing is why god invented processor runlevels XD

so far i can get it working with mscore, corefonts, dotnet 4.7.2 and gdi as the renderer. if i can get it to accept my registration key, i'll post how i got it to to work. the good news is that so far everything works in the trial edition without a hiccup, so it could have platinum status on winehq's appdb!
