  The default scan for dupeGuru is an exact matches scan, not a fuzzy one. The user has to chance the preferences himself, which I find a pretty good warning in itself.

  But then, if we really wanted to warn the user, there could be a message that pops up whenever one of the deleted dupes have a less then 100% match that says "Warning, some of the duplicates you're about to delete are not 100% matches. You should review your results before proceeding", with an option "Don't show this dialog again".

  Oh, I see.
  I was fairly sure that after installing DupeGuru PE for the first time, it was straight away using fuzzy matching (mine was set to around 80% I think).

  I wonder if I had installed the software a while ago, then uninstalled, and it remembered my settings from then.

  I guess this a bogus report, sorry :)

  I'm not so sure it's a bogus idea altogether. People might play with preferences not realizing what they're doing. A warning on the first time they delete dupes that aren't 100% matching might prevent hurtful deletions. I'll keep this ticket around.
