How does dupe: work

Post by vsub »

I wanted to see if I have files with the same name in certain folder but dupe: showed(along with real duplicates)some files that don't have duplicates

In that folder I have a lot of folders and video files(each video file have jpg image with the exact same name).
From 3201 files and 154 folders,it shows 7 folders with the same name and 12 that I sure no duplicates exist in that folder...and 76(Desktop.ini)real duplicates and 12(images)that I'm sure no duplicates exist in that folder.

I wanted to see if I have video files with the same name(including the extension)

dupe: finds duplicates across the entire index. It cannot be limited to a single folder.
I will look into showing duplicates for the current results..

dupe: works best when used with an extension.
For example:

Code: Select all

dupe: *.mkv
