Finding Duplicate Names (Different Extension)

Post by VeeGee »

Good afternoon,
I am using the Find Files | Dupes, Name | Different Extension to locate duplicates and clean up some files and have a few questions.

With these settings :

it works pretty well. I like the layout on the results and is very helpful.

1. Is there a setting that would allow me to restrict the duplicates to "only if in the same folder" ?

2. Using Dupes, is it possible to use wildcards for partial matches ?
For example,
01 - Friday I'm In Love.flac and 04 - Friday I'm In Love.mp3 in the same folder, matching on "Friday I'm In Love" would come back as a match as well.

In most cases, I'll be searching for an MP3 and FLAC in the same folder named the same (forgot to remove one at some point).

1. No such setting exists ATM.

2. Try to tick "Ignore Numbers", it might do the job.
