Thanks Camtasia for providing us with more assets, both within the product and in the form of bonuses.
Sometimes I like to use assets that TechSmith has withdrawn as it upgrades Camtasia.
If I make a libzip file of a previous Camtasia version and import it into my present Camtasia version, I get many duplicated assets. Is there any quick way to filter through these assets and delete the duplicates?
This question is parallel to a previous Forum question on the location of library assets. I'm an old-school type of guy who likes to play with files directly, without a User Interface that may not be "friendly" to my way of thinking. It seems a bit unnecessary for me to unzip a bunch of library asset files to a folder, export my current Camtasia library to that folder, manually delete all the asset files I don't need/want, erase my current libraries, and finally import my "accumulated collection."
Kayakman? Joe? Rick? Whaddaya say, my Camtasia gurus?

Heatsoft makes a great little program called ADCS - Advanced Directory Comparison and Synchronization. I compares two directories from lists, and shows the result. You sync whatever you want.
They're better known for their HCC Heatsoft Crap Cleaner, which trolls whatever you want and shows you duplicates, so you can decide which you want to keep. I use this that one less.
I believe the product is "try before you buy," but I've been using them for well over a decade, every few days.
However, any "File Commander" program could probably do the same. All the old fogeys remember that, from before Windows. DOS ruled and a two-window directory comparison, file manipulation program was standard issue.

to add to Muscle Whisperer's suggestion ...
another file compare app to consider is Beyond Compare 4 Pro; I find its file compare capabilities to be top-class; and, it has many features and functions that can really help with many screencasting and FTP hosting tasks
