CountDupe_Property Column

[Skier]

Hi void,
Do you think it's a good idea to add possibility to have "CountDupe" columns (specifically for NAME, PATH, Size, Date, and if you fancy for all the columns) ?
It would number of the dupes for the respective property column, and would be calculated dynamically each time for the active result list.

Like below image from Excel [It would work like Excel B2=COUNTIF(A:A;A2)];
SEARCH BOX: *.ico C:\Pictures

COUNT_IF.jpg (73.54 KiB) Viewed 2144 times

In that example;
I'd be able to see quickly that "icon.ico" has two appereances in different location by just looking at the first instance.
I'd be able to see quickly that folder "C:\Pictures\Icons_32" contains 8 number of "*.ico" files
I'd be able to see quickly that number of files that has the same Size. (eg. "app_icon.ico" and "IconFile1_icon1.ico" has same size)
I'd be able to see quickly that number of files that has the same Date Modified. (eg. "app_icon.ico" and "IconFile1_icon1.ico" has same Date modified)

It'd be multi purpose feature. One is to count number of files that match the criteria in each folder.

I know by sorting Path, and then Find Duplicate, and then copy the path to Excel, and then make the COUNTIF column myself is a solution, but these simple columns would make the process much simple.

Rgds,
Skier

Currently, duplicates are only calculated on demand with the dupe, unique, distinct functions and the specific parameters of those requests.

It should be feasible for void to add such columns on a per-request basis. The columns might be DupeCount1, DupeCount2, DupeCount3 as you can specify up to 3 properties to scan for duplicates in tandem. Ie: DUPE:size;dm;name

I will consider a duplicate count column for name, path, size and date modified.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I am thinking about this idea as well. For me also, this is a very highly useful feature. In addition by setting parameters such as for countdupe:name;size,dm --> gives a result for specific files in a new column (such as column1 and also while the 2nd instance and more of those duplicates remain blank? which makes it easier to see which files or folders have more than one duplicate)
