length_dupe_tolerance - a ghost feature?

Post by Thy Grand Voidinesss »

There is this

Tools > Options > Advanced > length_dupe_tolerance

but it is not mentioned at viewtopic.php?f=12&t=10176#dupe


What is it then? Some obsolete leftover from previous versions?

Set to the tolerance in milliseconds when finding duplicated lengths.
Set to 0 to disable. (default)

Length has a resolution of 100 nanoseconds.

Thank you


But it took me nevertheless a while to understand what is it for. And thus: should not that description rather say something like
Sets the tolerance in milliseconds when finding duplicated lengths.
instead of
Set to the tolerance in milliseconds when finding duplicated lengths.
?

Updated, thanks.

In a future build, I would like Everything to use the tolerance from the current display format.
So if you only display length in seconds, then tolerance would default to seconds.
For now, Everything will find length duplicates using the raw 100 nanoseconds resolution.
