Might get you going:

sizedupe: dupe: dmdupe:

Size, name, data modified.

(You'll need a recent 1.4.1 beta for the last item.)


Do note that that not all matches will meet your criteria.
Such as it will also find same size, same date, but different name (or combinations thereof).

IOW, you'll have to understand just what is being reported back to you.

Also not that "same" does not guarantee byte-for-byte identical of file contents.
(Actually file contents is not even considered.)

Code: Select all

In this particular instance, only the (1) file is displayed.
The file happens to be 1598427 bytes, so...

Everything cannot find multiple type duplication (eg same size and same name and same date), it can however find duplication of size, name and date modified, but not all 3 at the same time.

I recommend using only one of the following functions at a time:
dupe:
sizedupe:
dmdupe:

These functions find duplicates in the entire index, not the current results as you might expect.

These dupe functions work best with an extension or file type, for example:

*.mp4 sizedupe:
