SUGGESTION (FULFILLED): Specific location search
Posted: Sat May 06, 2023 6:51 pm
Good morning.
I will exemplify here citing the case of image files, but whose premise can be applied to other files.
I have an image (or several, inside a folder), and I have the objective of finding other identical or very similar images that are in other places of the PC.
What I propose is a search filter that does the search so that only images that are the same or similar to the selected one appear in the results.
This function is present in "Google Images", in which the user uploads a specific image on the platform, then Google detects the image and searches for similar images on the network.
It also detects a "part" of the image and offers results of entire images, in which this "piece" would be contained.
The indication of the file would be done in an additional tab of Dup.Clean, which would indicate the folder in the same style as the "Scan Location" tab, indicating a specific folder(s), but which would search in the indicated directories from "Scan Location", only duplicates of the indicated folder(s).
This tab could be called "From specific location", or "From Location".
As alternative, it could also be placed as a separate subsection within the "Scan Location" tab.
- Ex 1:
There is a specific image (or a piece of image) in a folder on the PC, so it serves as a parameter for Dup.Cleaner to search for other images equal (or similar) to that image within the PC.
- Ex 2:
Inside a folder is a group of some images where D.Cleaner would look for duplicates (in other directories) of just the images contained within this folder, ignoring all other duplicates/similars.
