Feature Request: swap files
Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2025 9:27 am
First the scenario.
After running Duplicate Cleaner there are multiple 'sets' (occurences) of :
2 identical files in 2 different folders
file1, in folder1, has a long name, explaining what it is about
file2, in folder2, has a short name.
Sometimes one would like to 'swap' these files: file1 from folder1 > folder2 and file2 > folder1
So select the files, context menu, swap destination-folder.
Example:
Obviously only possible with 2 files
After that the optionally the file with short name can be deleted.
Right now I could try to do this using Explorer and then run DC again to update.
For me, this is happening regularly, but this time I decided to post a feature request.
No idea whether it is complicated...
Thanks!
