RFE: Find Duplicates - Highlight Alternating Dups

[void]

Group colors are bound to the current sort.

If you click on the SHA-256 column, will that then give you want you want (as that will then sort by SHA-256) ?

@void - thanks for the feedback.
I allready guessed this - but was hoping for a small chance

@therube
No, unfortunately not.
As then the grouping by name is not done any longer.

What I am looking for is a workflow.

(1) search for all files which are name like "sfw*.pas" and order (group) by name
(2) add the sha256 column to see which files are the same, and which differ (but all - not only duped ones)
(3) [wish] keep the group by name but order by a second column inside the grouping (like sha256 or size, or...)
Now it get obvoius at which files I need to take a closer look

(4) Selecting a file(group) by selecting one of the files
(5) open these files in a new search windows by its exact name (but not path) [a keyboard shortcut for this would be very helpful]
(6) now merge those files with a tool like Beyond Compare
[ A Keyboard Shortcut would be very helpful to start an external program with all selected files in a parameter list ]

Thanks all for your help

[ A Keyboard Shortcut would be very helpful to start an external program with all selected files in a parameter list ]

Code: Select all

custom_open_command01=$exec("C:\BIN\XXhash64.BAT" %*)
custom_open_command02=$exec("C:\BIN\i_view32.exe" %* /thumbs)
custom_open_command03=$exec("C:\DEV\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" %*)
custom_open_command05=$exec("C:\WLIB\PLAYERS\mpv.net\mpvnet.exe" %*)

With hotkeys assigned to all.

Custom Open Commands

Very cool - thanks a lot.
Works like a charm with Beyond Compare

Is there a way to open the filename as a new search in a new tab as well ?

Wow, I've spent so many hours experimenting and trying to find the exact combination of custom open syntax and parameters to properly send a multi-selection to mpvnet, and could never quite hit on it. But this works! Thank you so much.

Everything 1.5.0.1384a adds an advanced group_color_alpha setting.

This setting controls the saturation of the group colors.

Increasing this to 128 to 255 will make it easier to see the difference between the colors.

To set the group color alpha to 128:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  group
• Select: group_color_alpha
• Set the value to: 128
  (0 = fully transparent; 255 = fully opaque)
• Click OK.
