How to Use DupeNuker with
NewzScape or JpegJet
You do not have to register DupeNuker to use it with NewzScape or JpegJet. If you have registered DupeNuker, then you can use the method in the section above to load your files into the database. If you have not registered DupeNuker, then use the “Import Only” tab to load in all of your files.
Once your files are in DupeNuker’s database, go onto JpegJet’s or NewzScape’s Settings window and tell it to use the DupeNuker.sdb database file instead of its own FingerPrints.sdb file.
