Highlighted File Selection Lost After Sort
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 5:34 pm
Not sure if this is a bug or a feature to add...
I have just updated to 3.1.5 free and have noted that if a file has been highlighted, then a sort is performed, after the sort, a different file is now highlighted. One would expect that the file that is highlighted remains highlighted after the sort. I thought a previous version of Duplicate Cleaner did this?
As an example:
Currently, having run a scan, I have sorted by path to see how many duplicates are in a particular folder. I see file"abc.xyz" and want to know where else this file resides. In theory I should be able to click on abc.xyz to highlight it, sort by FileName, and then I would automatically be moved to view my selected abc.xyz file now next to its duplicates. What I think is happening is that the highlight remains on a particular row rather with the particular file (i.e. if the file in 10th position in the list is highlighted, after a sort occurs, the file in 10th position is again highlighted, even though it is a completely different file).
An example of how one would expect it to work is as per Windows Explorer... I can select a file in a directory, then re-sort the directory contents by date or by size, and after the sort, the file that had been selected still remains selected, so I can now see that same file highlighted even though the file is in a different position in the list.
I'm quite keen to by the pro version, but I would like it if the the highlighted file remained highlighted after a sort.
Thanks,
Al
