🛡️ Media Matcher Pro: The Workflow Safety Net
5+
6+
Media Matcher Pro is a lightweight Windows utility designed for photographers, videographers, and action-cam enthusiasts. It acts as a final audit tool to ensure your raw media has been successfully accounted for in your archives before you format your memory cards.
7+
🔍 Why use this?
8+
9+
We've all been there: you start a massive export or file transfer, and it gets interrupted. Or, you’ve been editing for hours and can’t remember if you actually moved every clip from your tablet/SD card to your permanent storage.
10+
11+
This tool solves "Backup Anxiety" by identifying exactly which files on your source drive do not have a corresponding version in your archive.
12+
✨ Key Features
13+
14+
Safety First: Only suggests deleting files once they are confirmed to exist (with actual data) in your destination.
15+
16+
Smart Filename Matching: Matches files based on name, not extension. If DSC001.ARW exists as DSC001.jpg or DSC001.tif in your archive, it's marked as Matched.
17+
wwwww
18+
Corruption Check: Automatically ignores 0-byte (corrupted/empty) files in your archive to ensure your backups are valid.
19+
20+
Universal Format Support: Built-in filters for:
21+
22+
Pro RAW: Sony (.ARW), Canon (.CR3), Nikon (.NEF), Fujifilm (.RAF), OM System (.ORF), Panasonic (.RW2).
23+
24+
Action/Drone: Insta360 (.INSP, .INSV, .360), GoPro RAW (.GPR), Adobe (.DNG).
25+
26+
Pro Video: .MP4, .MOV, .MXF, .MKV, .AVI.
27+
28+
Dual-Archive Search: Scan two different backup drives (e.g., your NAS and your portable SSD) at the same time.
29+
30+

37+
38+

39+
40+
ORANGE (Unaccounted): These files are NOT in your archive. Export or move these before formatting your card!
41+
42+
Save Log: Export a text report of the "Unaccounted" files for manual processing.
