I am comparing backups from various old computers, so sometimes I don't have access to a folder but there's no way for me to know that folder was skipped. I assume that DC can see the folder because I can see it in File Explorer but I can't see the contents until I, as admin, click the folder and request access via the Windows Access Control dialog.
Request: Add a tab that lists the folders and files that were inaccessible/skipped.
Question: Is there a program that can go test access to every folder?

Re: Feature Request: List inaccessible/skipped folders.
Check the log file - this should list all skipped / errored files and folders.
Not sure of a program to test access to everything, sorry.

I'll check the log file.
An interim solution would be a warning message that states "Some folders where inaccessible. These are listed in the log file."
I suggest that it would be a worthwhile tab because I suspect that there's people who have spent hours de-duplicating drives only to discover later that there's a chunk of data that was never analyzed. So they don't get the files down to the minimum size.
