How to find duplicates from different entries

Post by anmac1789 »

Hello, I think i've found a better way to find duplicates and calculate the time difference between the two. Basically by grouping the exact filenames or a combination of properties such as filename and size then assigning these files a random colour then with these groupings, calculate the time difference (could be time created, time mod. or time acc.) by subtracting the 1st entry (being the reference) from other matching entries for that group colour. What do you think ?

Are these particular types of dups you're looking at, like media (A/V) files?
calculate the time difference
If media & time (Length), there is a tolerance factor that can be applied.
