Getting results into a text file

Is there any way of getting the dup file results into a text file? I'm working on images where there are a lot of near dups (identical image but slightly different file sizes, due to being re-saved with slightly different jpeg compression). Also the file names have been changed (when making copies within Picasa) to significantly different names.

I want to copy the results into a spreadsheet and manipulate it to get the dups side-by-side, instead of one after the other in groups. This will make it easier for me to see sequences of old and new file names, and then take a look at the images to decide which to delete.

Answering myself, I discovered you can select and copy the text on the results pane, so I now have it copied to excel.

The next question is a wishlist for an alternative side-by-side output format, as it's not easy to do the reformatting in excel (needs a macro).

You can export a CSV file which you can load straight into Excel

File->Export duplicate files list to CSV...
