When finding duplicate files, is it possible to send the dupe-group column to the clipboard, along with path/name?

Post by forgottenit »

One of the best features of xyplorer for me, and it's a unique but ridiculously simple one, is copy path/name to clipboard, or control-p.

It's very helpful when I want to create a list of files for deleting, etc, and I want to sort them a certain way in Excel. However, sometimes I need more information than this. In particular, when searching for duplicates, I need to know which 'group' the file is in; a 'group' encompasses all the files that are duplicates of each other.

Is there a way to do this?

Yes, using the Report tab like this:

You probably want to set the Path column to absolute paths, untick this:
Configuration | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Show relative path in Path column
To see the attached files, you need to log into the forum.
