Hello. I would like to know how to search for all the files in one folder that might be duplicated anywhere else on the computer. Can anyone help me to understand how to do that please?
I created a file list in the File List Editor and added it to the File List in the Options box. I don't know if this was necessary.
I have looked on the forum and the closest query I found is viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7644&p=25771&hilit= ... der#p25771 but it is a slightly different query and may have a more up to date answer a year later.
I am still fairly new to the software so I have been using Everything for simple searches so far. I would appreciate any advice.
Thank you.
