Hi,
this is my first post, here is my suggestion. For a long time I've been coming to see the site and hoping that new documentation in the form of help files and simple tutorials will be in place. I read in one of your documents that there would be new tutorials coming soon however that was some time ago and they don't appear to be any new ones. I'm not a geek so when I look at some of the documentation I find it somewhat perplexing. I can give you an example - most people have a lot of duplication of files and folders especially music folders but they may also have documents and so forth so I thought I would look at your new deDupe command the first thing I note is that it mentions a range I now have to go to another part of the documentation to find out what that is I assume it's a set of files or folders but I'm not sure how to input them, I then see that effectively I can just put in deDupe then a filename followed by a directory and I have an option if I want to change a duplicated file to be symlinked to the first file that it found. In the documentation it also mentions an option of /S being linked to a d setting which appears to be an option of /N I guess the capital N is substituted by a d but then only if /S is used.
I note that /S hasn't been defined I assume it means search what was defined was /Sn which is to search subdirectories there is mention of s/[n] so shouldn't it have been like that in the line above? I only want to be able to search through a given directory and find duplicates of anything, however it seems that I have to specify a particular file. Maybe I'm stupid I'm not a geek I believe that your product could be better if the documentation could be improved (I know it has had a recent make over) and in particular some simple video tutorials of using common commands hi-lighting their use and pointing out common scenarios where certain options may be helpful or necessary. It would also be nice for an explanation as to not just how to use particular option but why you should use it in this particular context over some other option. It needs to be written in a way a non geek can comprehend.
