What I would really like is if there were options to organize the file list more compactly (more like a file manager) displaying as many duplicates as will fit on the screen and being able to tick off duplicates without having to navigate down the list one at a time.

I gave this a 4/5 instead of a 5 because I found it tedious to use with the thousands of duplicates I had.
DUPLICATE DETECTIVE NOT DELETING UPDATE
In a recent update (I think) a prompt was added to indicate that you should check the files you want to delete (not the ones you want to keep). It scanned 600GB of files in around a minute and made deleting files much, much easier. I decided to devote some dedicated time to cleaning up my disk, and Duplicate Detective was invaluable. The bug doesn’t really affect how well the app does its job of removing duplicates but it would be nice to have an accurate estimate of how much space would be saved. My scan found 100s of GBs of duplicates so I don’t know if this bug just presents itself for really big scans or it shows up in smaller scans too. For me, toggling a ~10MB file results in the estimated size jumping around by over 100GB. You can recreate this bug by just toggling the checkboxes on a few items and seeing how the estimated size jumps around. One bug that should be fixed in future versions: On the results page when you are selecting the files that you want to delete, the estimated size that will be made available isn’t accurate. But the scan seems to get all the duplicate files and will group them by folder if all the contained files are the same (which is a really nice feature). I had to leave it running overnight to get it to finish its scan. Like past reviewers have said, it tends to take a while to scan a folder.
