Unmatched ! properties does not work with find-dupes:

[anmac1789]

Hello, everyone it seems that there is a conflict when using find-dupes:column1 with date-modified:!=date-taken: in this command

Code: Select all

column1:=name:,size:,formatfiletime($date-taken:) find-dupes:column1 date-modified:!=date-taken:

It doesn't show proper results. Please see screenshots

This is the file "20210829_181116.jpg" I am searching for everywhere on my computer.

When I use

"20210829_181116.jpg" column1:=name:,size:,formatfiletime($date-taken:) find-dupes:column1

without

date-modified:!=date-taken:

then the results show as intended. See screenshot below:

The problem then occurs when I add

date-modified:!=date-taken:

into the search bar and no results are displayed. See screenshow below

However, when I just use

"20210829_181116.jpg" date-modified:!=date-taken:

then it displays the results correctly. See screenshot below.

So it seems to me like find-dupes doesn't work well with unmatched properties such as date-modified!=date-taken: as one example. Is this a known issue ?

find-dupes: is applied after your search, so you are really searching for:

Code: Select all

column1:=name:,size:,formatfiletime($date-taken:) date-modified:!=date-taken: find-dupes:column1 

Please try the following:

• Search for:

  Code: Select all

  column1:=name:,size:,formatfiletime($date-taken:) find-dupes:column1 
  

• Select all results (Ctrl + A)
• Copy all filenames (Ctrl + Shift + C)
• Set your search to:

  Code: Select all

  filelist1: date-modified:!=date-taken: 
  

• Hold down Ctrl and click the filelist1: text in the search box.
• Paste your filenames.
• Does Everything show the expected results?
