More duplicate options

With this option, files with the same filenames (excluding file extension) will be grouped as duplicates.

With this option, files with the similar filenames (filename + extension) will be grouped as duplicates.

 

Note: Numbers in the filenames are ignored.

This option groups files with the same file extension (e.g. .txt or .jpg)

This option will find duplicates with the same file size.  You can also set a size tolerance in Bytes for the grouping.

 

Note: This is greyed out if the 'Same Content' option is selected, as this type of scan already assumes the files will be the same size.

 

This option will group files with the same created Date/Time.  You can just match by date, ignoring the time component, by clicking 'Match date only'.

You can also set a matching tolerance in Hours, Minutes and Seconds.

 

Note: milliseconds are ignored.

This option will group files with the same modified Date/Time.  You can just match by date, ignoring the time component, by clicking 'Match date only'.

You can also set a matching tolerance in Hours, Minutes and Seconds.

 

Note: milliseconds are ignored.

This setting enables you to group duplicates by their folder name. The depth setting allows you to specify how far up the folder tree to match. The 'Match full' option requires that the whole path (excluding drive name) is matched.

 

For instance:

 

Depth setting = 1

 

Matches:

D:\Data\Docs\Misc\House\

D:\Backup\House\

C:\Backup\House\

 

Depth setting = 2

 

Matches:

D:\Backup\House\

C:\Backup\House\

 

This option will cause duplicates to be EXCLUDED from the final list where ALL the duplicates in that group are in the same folder.  This option is useful where you are searching for duplicates which are only in different folders.

 

Note: A group containing some duplicates from the same folder will be shown if they have at least one match in a different folder.
