Diffractor is a Open Source Windows program in the Other category, developed by Diffractor. The current version is 126.0; you can download it safely from its official source with the download button above.
Diffractor is designed to manage a collection of photos and videos on your PC.
It can view and search any files, but the collection has extra features such as duplicate detection, fast search and presence. The collection is indexed to support these features.
Diffractor calculates the presence of files in the collection. The presence indicates if a file exists or is duplicated in the collection. It also indicates if an item has sidecars.
Sidecars are extra files associated with a media item – for example XMP metadata or subtitles.
The presence tooltip lists the files that diffractor has detected. Duplicates in red and sidecars in green.
Presence also works for files outside the collection. Use it to check if files on an old memory card are missing from the collection. Simply open the memory card and group files by presence.
