Suggestion for 'Sync Select...' feature: select by size.
Much, much needed for quick comparison for massive folder duplicates at once and further easy deletion.
Thanks.

Anyone able to provide an alternative for this?
'show folder sizes' can/must be temporally on for this.

Code: Select all
"Sync Select Size"
$sizes = FormatList(Report('{Size};', 1), 'dents', ';');
Focus 'PI';
SelFilter($sizes,, 'Size');
This will get the sizes of the selected items, switch panes, and then select any items displaying the same sizes.
Note though that
SelFilter is checking the displayed sizes which means:
1) Both panes need to use the same format to get a match.
2) Due to rounding and converting between different units there is a chance it will not be 100% accurate - switching to 'Bytes' or 'Raw' in both panes can work around this.
Another option would be to perform the comparison within the script like so:
Code: Select all
"Sync Select Size 2"
$sizes = Report("{Size RAW};*<crlf>", 1);
$sizes = FormatList($sizes, 'dents', <crlf>);
$ip = ListPane('i', '*', 0, '|');
$ipSizes = Report("{Size RAW};{FullName}<crlf>", $ip);
$matches = FormatList($ipSizes, 'f', <crlf>, $sizes);
$matches = RegexReplace($matches, '^\d+;');
SelectItems $matches, '2', 1, 'n', 'i';
The second has the added advantage that you can expand it more easily to handle other matching cases - if you wanted to check Name and Size for instance or compare dates, etc.

Hello, TheQwerty. Many thanks for those.
I can't manage the second one to work...?
$ipSizes = Report("{Size RAW};{FullName}<crlf>", $ip);
The SIZEs are not being reported here for the listed items at $ip.

And what files do you have in the inactive pane? The Qwerty's script works fine here...

The same scheme that works with the first script, highend: a test pane at the same location as p1, sizes displayed in bytes, same columns. Thanks for joining in.

And you have items selected in the active pane?

Then show the output of the two steps:
Code: Select all
$ip = ListPane('i', '*', 0, '|');
$ipSizes = Report("{Size RAW};{FullName}<crlf>", $ip);
e.g. as a .gif animation

ok. 17.20 is out so after upgrade i'll find software which could do the record. In hopes a small update is the reason for the glitch.
thank you.
