Feature Request - Virtual Folders

One new feature that I would find very useful is support for Virtual Folders. A Virtual Folder is a file containing only the metadata of a real folder. The metadata could also include calculated metadata such as hashes. You would use Duplicate Cleaner to create Virtual Folders of your external hard disks, and disks of other computers, and save them as files. You could then use Duplicate Cleaner to search for duplicates in your Virtual Folders. The only limitation is that byte-to-byte comparison would not be possible, but that is a small limitation compared to the advantages.

Thanks for the suggestion - we've had ideas mentioned similar to this in the past (it's a good idea!)

Something to take a look at for Duplicate Cleaner 5.
