Search for unique files

I have seen some other topics about this subject, but can't find any reply whether or not this feature will be available in a next version.

What I need is a function in Duplicate Cleaner that allows me to scan a folder or set of folders for files that only appears once, not just based on file name, but based on the contents.

I found other duplicate file finders (like from Auslogic) that does include this feature, but because I like Duplicate cleaner more I hope this crucial function will be included soon.

I'm guessing he means starting with a certain file, and comparing it to other files to find (the locations of) its duplicates. Sounds like a nifty feature.

This is probably the feature I came to the forum to find if I could do in DV.

I want to make sure that two folder trees contain exactly the same files. If any file is "unique" then I will need to copy it into the other tree. I can do the copying manually if DV would just tell me the differences between the two sets of files.

DV is great! Thanks for the update. :D

You are looking for a backup and synchronization tool :)
