Find Duplicates dupe:name;size but where all date modified are not the same

Post by Phlashman »

How do I search for duplicates using dupe:name;size but then not all the date modified in the group are identical?
In a pair the dm are not the same, in 3 or more in the group at least one dm is different than the others

Thanks

PS: if I have search
ext:wav dupe-min:3 dupe:name;size;md5
As getting md5 can take a long time :-( (not indexed), is the number of files required to get their md5 checksum going to be all duplicates by name;size or is the dupe-min of 3 going to reduce the number before calculating md5?

Thanks again

To search for duplicates where the name and size are the same, but date modified differs:
dupe:name;size;!date-modified



ext:wav dupe-min:3 dupe:name;size;md5

is the number of files required to get their md5 checksum going to be all duplicates by name;size or is the dupe-min of 3 going to reduce the number before calculating md5?
Everything will find files where the name and size are duplicated before gathering md5.
dupe-min:3
has no effect on gathering md5. it will only affect the final results.

Followup question...

Have a number of files that have "Wrong" modified date in that they are in the future :-?
How do i find duplicates where the name and size are the same, but that at least one of the files in each duplicate group has a date modified greater than today?
ie. dm:>today

Right click the filelist1: text in the search box and click Edit File List Slot
