Just add the path of the right pane into the "Location:" field in "Name & Location", delimited with a ";" or "|"
E.g.: D:\;E:\

You added it to the address bar? oO
Hit F12
"Name & Location" tab
Add the second path to the "Location:" field
"Dupes" tab
Check whatever you want to compare
"Find Now"

Also remember menu Panes >> Sync Select. I think it only work on one folder for each pane though... Not subfolders.

while this works for files, how do I search for duplicated FOLDERS in e:\;f:\
As soon as I check "dupes", I only see files, not folders.
My use case is that I want to find folder dupes with the same size

You can't, dupe searching is for files only
Code: Select all
D:\1
with
D:\a.txt = 1024 bytes
D:\b.txt = 512 bytes
would be a dupe for
Code: Select all
E:\1
with
D:\c.txt = 512 bytes
D:\d.txt = 1024 bytes
?
You are free to script that...
