Using DupScout GUI Layouts

In order to improve GUI usability, the DupScout main GUI application provides three user-selectable GUI layouts. Press the 'Layouts' button to switch the GUI application to the next GUI layout.

The default GUI layout displays large toolbar buttons with descriptive text labels under each button and shows the right side-bar and the duplicate files categories and filters on the bottom side. The second GUI layout displays small toolbar buttons with descriptive text labels beside each button and hides the right side-bar.

The third GUI layout displays small toolbar buttons without descriptive text labels and hides the right side-bar and hides the bottom duplicate files categories and filters making it a truly minimalist GUI layout.
