Filelist question...

Post by tassos0104 »

Inside Filelist1: I have a list of folders that I want to see if they exist anywhere else in the hard drive.
Is it possible to somehow find out without having to search for the name of each folder one by one?
Thanks! :D

To find duplicated folders by name, please try including the following in your search:

folder:dupe:name



To find duplicated folders by name and size, please try including the following in your search:

folder:dupe:name;size



To find duplicated folders by name, size and contents please try including the following in your search:

folder:dupe:name;size;folder-data-sha256

(This search is extremely slow, please make sure there's only a few results with folder:dupe:name;size first)



Please try using child: to include only folders with specific files.
For example:

child:*.mp3

folder:dupe:name file-list1: did the trick for me.

One thing to remember (for beginners like me) is that file-list1: needs to contain the folder names only and not the whole path in order for this search to work.

Thanks!! :idea:
