You can access location marking tools from the Duplicate files right-click context menu or from the Selection Assistant.

 

Marking all files outside a folder (or folder tree) that have a duplicate inside that folder

 

This function will mark all files outside the selected folder/tree which are duplicates of the files in the selected folder.

 

If the 'Preserve' option is checked then any files in the selected folder/tree will be un-marked.

 

Example:

Selected folder name = C:\MyFiles\

 

Files in Group 1:

C:\MyFiles\file1.txt

D:\Backup\file1.txt

D:\Backup\copies\file1-copy.txt

 

Files in Group 2:

C:\MyFiles\Doc.txt

C:\MyFiles\Doc (2).txt

D:\Backup\Doc.txt

D:\Backup\copies\Doc.txt

 

After this operation the files in the Backup folder are marked:

 

Files in Group 1:

C:\MyFiles\file1.txt

D:\Backup\file1.txt - MARKED

D:\Backup\copies\file1-copy.txt - MARKED

 

Files in Group 2:

C:\MyFiles\Doc.txt

C:\MyFiles\Doc (2).txt

D:\Backup\Doc.txt - MARKED

D:\Backup\copies\Doc.txt - MARKED
