How could one find and show only folders with identical content?

Post by Dupp »

How could one find and show only folders with identical content? So ones having the same identical (by their contents / bit by bit) files.

Could one exclude special files, e.g. 0 byte files? Or files with special extensions?

And could one exclude tags by music files. So only the exact audio data would be compared (without the tags):

Use Regular Mode, with the 'Same Content' setting.

You can exclude files in the normal way using the file type and file size filters-

Thank you very much!

So and that will show only the folders with same content (not the other folders). But how could I achieve that then (for the comparison for audio files which are the most files to be compared), respectively how could one find autio files then with different tags, but same audio content:

You can use audio mode - there are several levels of comparison you can do here, but they will all ignore tags unless you specifically ask for a match.
