Finding Duplicated version of a file from right click

Post by kn0ck0ut »

I dont know if there any feature like that. But I couldnot find if ther is :)
Sometimes pictures or documents get many copies in the computer.
Basically it would be nice if we were able to right click for example on a photo and click the option there which probably will says "find copies of this file".
Im doing this manually. but it would be very nice and practical if there was a button like that in right click.

Create a "Send to" link:

Code: Select all

{path_to_everything}\Everything.exe   -search  dupe:"%1"
(Personalize as wanted.)

Then from whatever application you're using, so long as you can right-click, Send to...


Note that duplicate file names are found, no other criteria.

Please make sure you use -search
Please make sure there is at least one space after -search.
Please make sure any following text with spaces is escaped with double quotes.

For example:

Code: Select all

Everything.exe -search "some text to search for -dupe:%1"
