All but one file in each group

Post by MrMatthewM »

I was wanting to mark every file but one in each group, but I notice it keeps the oldest dated file. Is there a way to have the program mark all the files in each group except the most recent file?

Best regards,
Matthew

What is the answer?

I have 40k groups, mosty in the same directory, and want to just mark all but one in each group.

Answered in your other thread, but in this case you would choose; Selection Assistant ... Select by...Date/Time.

Note that, perhaps oddly (?), if all the files in a group have the same Date/Time, none are selected.
Only if there is one that is older/newer then the other(s).


(Also note that a Date/Time of 07/06/2013 11:05:43 AM & 07/06/2013 11:05:39 AM are not considered the same Date/Time, though I do have RFE to treat them as such.)
