How to flag idenitifed duplicates as unique

Post by Hippo »

I am new to this software and so far it seems to be exactly what I need.

However, there are files identfied as duplicates that I would like to flag as unique so they are not picked up on subsequent duplicate searches.

I do not want to change the search critieria, as they do also pick up duplicates I need to delete.

Any ideas?

Thanks (& apolgies if this has been covered previously)

This isn't currently a feature.

You can exclude by folder or filetype but the program doesn't currently have a way exclude or flag previously scanned files by filename. If enough people request this we could look at adding it!

That said, you could do this but you'd have to rename the file. (i.e. add "_Unique" to the end of the file name before the extension), and then add an exclusion filter (*_Unique.*)

This may not be viable for most situations however.

No problem, thanks for the feedback.

Today, I have used a "procedural" way to deal with this anyway.

Great software BTW.
