Duplicate files

Post by tiberiu_zcv »

Hello,
I want to find all duplicates from 2 folders, but the file must be from one folder and its duplicate from another folder.
For example:
Folder A:
-image1.jpg
-image2.jpg
Folder B:
-image3.jpg

FolderC:
-image1.jpg
-image3.jpg

I want to find all dupes from FolderA that are also in folderC.

In the Find Files Panel on the Name & Location tab enter both paths in the Location field with | between eg C:\folder A|D:\folderC, and depending on your requirements maybe uncheck "Include Subfolders", then switch to the Dupes tab and select the settings you want, make sure both Name and Dupes are checked under the Find Now button (and nothing else), and then press it.

I tried with "|" before posting, but the problem is that in folder A I also have dupes that I don't want to appear.

Just add them as exclusions, or filter them from the results. And if you are only focused on Name dupes you could use Sync Select instead.

Otherwise script it.

Can your dupes be identified by just the name of the file?
