Conditional custom columns

[anmac1789]

Is there a way to get conditional custom columns ? For example, finding duplicate files for which 4 defined paths must be true and exclude all other paths

"C:\dir1\*" | "U:\dir2\dir3\*" | "U:\dir3\dir4\dir5\*" | "Y:\DCIM\Camera\*" dupe:name

That might be close, depending on exactly what is wanted.
That will find name dupes within those 4 directories, but not necessarily 4 name dupes with each of those 4 directories.

Again same problem, some duplicates are found in 2 paths, while others are found in all 3 paths.

So you're only looking for name dupes that are only matched in all 4 of the directories?

Note as written, with

\*

, that limits the search to the specified directory.
(I.e., it does not search subdirectories of the specified directory, so "Y:\DCIM\Camera\2006\*" would not be considered - only, "Y:\DCIM\Camera\*").

Yes they must be matched in all 4 folders

& Yes that's fine subdirectories shouldn't and I'm okay with that. Since subdirectories would make it really complicated. This could have some far-reaching implications because one does not need to eye-ball searching for files with 4 matching paths

Basically searching for duplicate filenames across 4 folders, if there is no file among any of 4 folders, then it should not match up (in other words, if 3 folders have the same filename, but one folder doesn't then the entire 3 folders that do match should not be in the result)
