XYplorer Beta Club

From WinCatalog, I exported a list of folders of the same size that I want to deduplicate

From Excel, can I write a macro or batch file to open XYplorer with two directories in side by side panes so that I can visually compare them before I try to dedupe them with DuplicateCleaner)?

Ex. if cell B2 = C:\DirectoyOne
and cell B3 = C:\DirectoryTwo

Also, for more than two directories, open in multiple tabs.

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Why don't you write an XY script that takes the export file of WinCatalog directly?

I've got this working from the command prompt:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /script="::focus 'p1'; tab('new', 'L:\S'); tab('closeothers'); focus 'p2'; tab('new', 'L:\R'); tab('closeothers');"

Now I'll put this into an excel macro.

(Regarding the other comment: the WinCatalog export is over 500 directories long, in pairs or triplets of folders that are the same size.)

Soon I can open a pair or triplet of folders to compare in XYplorer, BeyondCompare and DupicateCleaner.
