Re: search for duplicate photos, the other with slight name change (1)

To clarify, are they duplicates of other files just with "_(1)" on the end, or are they unique files that have been renamed?

Re: Delete duplicates that are not matching Digitised date (Exif data)

Then, sorry, probably need to request an update to DPC such that its search results include the ability to display and mark/sort by digitised date.

Re: Delete duplicates that are not matching Digitised date (Exif data)

If your search resulted in the duplicates you wanted to delete, ALL having created or modified file dates later than the digitised date except for the 'originals' with their matching dates, you could use "Mark by modified date/time" or "Mark by created date/time" and choose "...

Re: Delete duplicates that are not matching Digitised date (Exif data)

Odd. The "digitised date" (i.e. the date it was taken by the camera) of the photo that is stored in its EXIF data should not be changing just by moving or copying the file around. Is it being confused with the file system's creation and modification dates? When shown the list of duplicates...

Re: Delete duplicates that are not matching Digitised date (Exif data)

Note that it's possible to end up with file system times that don't match a photo's EXIF creation time at all, even when it's first imported, depending on camera/OS/software/etc. If you did an Image search with both 'Exact Match' and 'Digitised Date/Time', and only those options, DPC should find and...

Re: Request and question re hash calculating

Thankyou for making DPC! I just used it plus drivepool, ffmpeg, 7zip and multipar to find and recover some family movies and records from bitrot that had crept in over time via a bad drive controller. And another request for the pile: ability to tell the cache to re-calculate the hash for particular...

Re: Request and question re hash calculating

I'd like to add another hashing request, could uniques please show (or be made to show) their hashes in the Unique files window? Only some have hashes shown.

Request and question re hash calculating

I would like to request the following re hash calculating: * Option to have DPC calculate and cache hashes for all files in a given (set of) location(s) in advance. That way, for very large data sets, the hashing time can be scheduled for when I'm asleep so that different comparisons can return resu...

Re: "No duplicates found" -- but many duplicates are "unique

I've just run into this problem (again) too, it is indeed very confusing and becomes worse as the number of folder trees you're trying to compare (and thus the number of scans) increase. I would suggest eliminating the awkward interaction (between duplicates and uniques) by replacing "Scan agai...

Re: I want to find non-duplicate files

Hi, I am also looking forward to version 4 and the ability to find unique/non-duplicate files. Is there a mailing list or other method by which we could be notified when it is released?
