- This update enhances the functionality of the Duplicate cycle and brings to you new features, stability improvements and bug fixes.
- Mac Washing Machine version 10.8.4 gives you more options for finding, verifying and selecting duplicate files — offering the same powerful, advanced and effective way to find duplicate files as Duplicate Zapper.

- Sort options – sort duplicate files by Name, Count, Type, Size, Selected, and Extension.
- Additional Auto Select options – allows you to keep shortest/longest file path, or keep original files.
- Quick Look file preview - provides you with a way to verify whether files are in fact duplicates.
- Show in Finder – enables you to view duplicate files in the Finder window, so you can see exactly where the file is to help make a decision as to which duplicate file to keep or remove.
- More file types scanned – now includes spreadsheets (.XLSB, .XLSM, .XLSX, .NUMBERS, .ODS), presentations (.PPT, .PPTX, .KEY, .KEYNOTE, .ODP), and documents (.TXT, .DOC, .DOCX, .ODT, .PAGES, .RTF).
- Move files to trash – duplicates can now be placed in trash so you can either recover them or ‘permanently’ delete them when you empty the trash.

- French localization improvements
- Japanese localization improvements
