duping same file and folder name is not shown

Post by anmac1789 »

There is another problem with finding duplicates. It has to do with finding duplicates when the file and folder have the same name. For example,

folder: IMG_1234.JPG
file: IMG_1234.JPG

When I assign a custom column such as

Code: Select all

column-1:name: find-dupes:column-1
then nothing is shown. Have a look at the screenshot

This is a limitation with Everything.

Everything has a file database and a folder database.

Only duplicates from a single database are found.
