The stem of ABC.MP4 and ABC.MKV is: ABC



To find duplicate stems, include the following in your search:

dupe:stem



To show and copy the Stem:
  • In Everything 1.5, right click the result list column header and click Add Column....
  • Select Stem and click OK.
  • Select your files.
  • Right click on your files under the Stem column and click Copy Stem.
