Re: Problems with Selecting Groups
I have a related question... I'm trying to whittle down a universe of files as i proceed thru various Selections by path. So i'll search for all files from Path_A and then from only those groups, search for Path_B files, and from only those groups search for Path_C files, etc To do that, at each lev...

Problems with Selecting Groups
I'm working with about 1TB of files (all images and vids) and 40k groups and AllDup and/or my 10 yr old Core i7 16gb ram machine seems to be struggling (stalling or crashing) with selecting groups of 2 files only. Trying to figure out where the issue is... Groups ranging from 30 files down to 2. Abo...

Re: Feature Request: Renaming all files in a group to one common name
havent had the chance to do it, but forming a string (simply from within excel) from the csv file to generate a statement such as: ren h:/f1/f2/f3/filnam.ext <"aaaaa_"&<excelrow#>.ext for each row and then pasting into a batch file with pauses between some number of lines to make sure ...

Re: Feature Request: Renaming all files in a group to one common name
for renaming, ive used "bulk file renamer" for years. but it's not the actual renaming that's the quandary, it's 2000+ groups of identical files in every way other than the filename. Some of those files are spread across folders; others are within folders; and yet others are both spread ac...

Re: Feature Request: Renaming all files in a group to one common name
thanks for the responses. i forgot to mention that i did play with the renamer and as pointed out, collisions were a problem. It did warn of potential collisions when dupes existed within a folder and if you proceeded, it would rename the first file and then stop. As to renamers, i do have the "...

Feature Request: Renaming all files in a group to one common name
I'm trying to organize a large file store where there are many identical files that have different names scattered among all the folders. When I do a byte-by-byte search (they're mainly image or video files), i'll get groups of 2 to maybe 20 exact copies of files (other than the name). Within each g...

Compare with same properties
It seems that when "file extension" is checked it considers case, so ".jpg" is not equal to '.JPG". Seems like case should be ignored (or at least case sensitivity should be noted in the program)? (note: i didn't check this for "file name").

Comparing only files btw ....
Given a folder with n subfolders. They're all jpgs and i'm searching on file content only ignoring all tags, metadata, filenames, etc. Often a few pics within a subfolder are very similar (taken a split second apart). I'm not interested in finding those 'dupes'. I'm interested in dupes between diff ...
