Dupe sort

Post by w64bit »

I search for dupe:dm;name
and I want to sort them by size, keeping the dupe grouping.
If I click on Size column the grouping is lost.
I could use dupe:size;dm;name but the result is not what I want.

Maybe sort by size can take into account the largest file in group and sort groups by these files (only when dupe: is used)?

Not sure (because untested), but does the following help?

Code: Select all

sort:dm;name;size    dupe:dm;name

sort:dm;name;size is sorting by date (Date Modified column selected)

If you create a Filter, with a search of; dupe:dm;name, & use that Filter, then sort by size, does that work for you?

No. The groups of several files it's split in groups of 1 file (because the files have different sizes).
