option to find duplicates only in same folder

Post by tekko »

requesting an option to find duplicates only in the same folder

i.e.
if I add d:\ and e:\ with many subfolders, I would like the option to only find duplicates within the same folder, skipping the checks between parent and child folders.

Thank you.

You can do this in DC Pro using the 'Same folder name to a depth of' Option (More Duplicate options). You can choose to match the entire (full) folder name, or just to a specified depth from the top.

I've just tried your suggestion and it's a little different.
Maybe I should've said same location, instead of same folder.

With your suggestion, duplicates will still show up across different drives.

Maybe add another check box saying same exact location?
