When using dupe:file: on a folder the program is displaying also one instance of a file (example: FILE.txt).
I think it is like this because on the drive there are several FILE.txt files.
I think that when using dupe:file: on a folder, the program should display the duplicates found only in that folder.
Thank you

Re: dupe:file: on a folder
dupe: works "globally", irrespective of other filtering.
So you cannot limit dupe: (& some other functions) to a single directory.
In this case, what it is telling you, is the file named "file.txt", in addition to being in your specified directory, exists somewhere else too - only you have filtered your results so you are not seeing the other locations it exists.

Re: dupe:file: on a folder
It's on my TODO list. I'm thinking of making a "Special View" of "Show duplicated Filenames" for the current results, maybe something from the View menu..the program should display the duplicates found only in that folder.
