Suppose that should be applied to 'Same File Names' too.
Example:
jethro tull - underwraps.mov
jethro tull - underwraps.mp4
Same files, but a name search will not find them because the extensions differ.

I'm guessing there was no solution to this?
I'm trying to dedupe on books:
Book1.txt
Book1.epub
Book1.mobi
Book1.pdf
etc

It's on the to-do list. I might bump it up into the next update!

Thank you.
Odd location though (Options | More Options | Scanning).
Would have expected it to be available on the Search Criteria tab.

I want to search for files having the same first 25 characters in the file name. How can I do this? The files are all jpg or JPG or jpeg or JPEG.

Using
Everything Search & this
search string: *.jpg dupe: len:>28 len:<30 dupe:
- Search for .jpg
- Filenames (including extension) with a length of 29 characters
(29 - 4, .ext, = 25 chars)
- Search for (file
name) duplicates
(file name duplicates does not mean that the contents are the same)
Could be a start in your search.
Code: Select all
M:\_C\Amarok - Mujer Luna\Amarok - Mujer Luna_Cover.jpg
X:\_MUSIC\_C\Amarok - Mujer Luna\Amarok - Mujer Luna_Cover.jpg
C:\My Documents\AMI BIOS Drive Settings-1.jpg
X:\C_COPY\My Documents\AMI BIOS Drive Settings-1.jpg
C:\My Documents\AMI BIOS Drive Settings-2.jpg

That'll do it.
This feature is slated to be implemented in version 4.0.
