File and folder owner?

Post by shiwpam »

Hi,
Is there an option that shows who the owner of the duplicate files are? If not, is this something that could be implemented so that the search results has a column called owner?

Nothing there.

Indirectly, you could do something like right-click Properties.
But if you were interested in knowing the owner for a lot of files, that wouldn't work too well.

Well that's the issue, we have a lot of file and being able to identify the owner would help generate a report that can easily be sorted and passed on to the appropriate managers to take action.

Is this something that could be implemented in future release?

(Seems that "Owner" is a somewhat odd request. I've looked though various "utility" [file finders, file managers ...] type programs that I have on hand, & none enumerate Owner.)

I'm not familiar with those software, but we purchased NTFS PERMISSIONS REPORTER which didn't list the owner also, but an quick email to their support group resulted in that feature being implemented into a later release of the software.
You can download from the link below if you wish to verify this for yourself.

If it can be added, great, if not... then it is what it is.
