Find duplicate of selected folder

[eswul62]

Am using a Everything context menu item that reads

folder: size:[get-property:"U:\USBFolder\Folder name","total size"]


I would select a folder (in Directory Opus) and then use that command (in context menu) and Everything is supposed to show duplicates of the folder.
Command:

Code: Select all

"D:\Everything\Everything64.exe" -s* folder: size:[get-property:"%1","total size"]

I believe it worked well so far(?)
surely I am doing something wrong, but right now the command shows ALL duplicate folders and sub folders on all drives, not just the selected one.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Later...

probably found it ...
-if there are -no- duplicate folders, then all other duplicate folders are listed, as per above
-if there are indeed duplicates, then the duplicate folders are listed only.
so:
folder 1
folder 1
duplicates are displayed
folder 2 - no duplicates of that folder, then all other dups are listed.

[void]

Maybe Everything is unable to find that folder.

Please try the following command instead:

Code: Select all

"D:\Everything\Everything64.exe" -s* folder: [iflen:[get-property:"%1","total size"],"size:"[get-property:"%1","total size"],"nothing:"]

-If the total size is unknown, Everything will show an empty list.

Very, very deep sigh...
My mistake, I am deeply sorry!

I was confused. The syntax is correct, but I got it wrong...
(sometimes one would wish not to have submitted a thread)

Anyway, something I did not pay attention to: Everything was showing all folders with the same size (with different names though).
Whereas I (wrongly) assumed it would list duplicates based on the foldername+size

Yes, the command clearly says: size

In this case, with this specific folder, there were 13-15 different folders, having the same size.
(and another 13+ folders on a different drive)
It is really a coincidence that the folders were having the same size.

In other cases 2,3 or 4 folders at most were listed, with the same name.

Sorry for all confusion!
