size_dupe_tolerance?

Post by piercedkiwi »

to find dupe videos, that have different filenames/resolutions (dimensions), I've found the best workflow for me, is to sort "Find Length Duplicates" then "Find Size Duplicates"

I've changed length_dupe_tolerance to 111, but I'm wondering:
1) Is there a similar tolerance setting for size?. It seems like for size dupes need to be exact down the Kb (?), but sometimes the same movie (for example) is reencoded or something and might be slightly different size

Also, 2) is there a macro or hotkey that I could use, to do that sort find length duplicated, sort find size duplicates, as one action instead of 2?

Thanks heaps!

No.
There's is something similar with Formulas:

To find size in kb duplicates, include the following in your search:

Code: Select all

add-column:a a:=QUOTIENT($size:,1024) dupe:a sort:a-descending
Please be aware that this puts sizes into buckets and find duplicate buckets.
0-1023 fall into the same bucket, 1024-2047 fall into the same bucket.
1023 and 1024 fall into different buckets, even though they have a 1 byte difference.

This is difference to how length_dupe_tolerance works.
length_dupe_tolerance doesn't use buckets.
length_dupe_tolerance compares the last value with the current value and if they are within the tolerance they fall into the same group.
For example: If you have a length_dupe_tolerance of 1 second, and have the following lengths in seconds: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 they all fall into the same dupe group.


2) is there a macro or hotkey that I could use, to do that sort find length duplicated, sort find size duplicates, as one action instead of 2?
Create a bookmark under Bookmarks -> Add bookmark and bind a keyboard shortcut.
Your bookmark can set the sort, either with the bookmark sort field or the sort specified in your search with sort:.
