How to filter results from a dupe/grouping on condition that one of the dupe files is in a path containing "some thing"?

[TheBestPessimist]

I am searching my photos for duplicates. I have md5 indexed multiple folders at different paths.

My current search looks like this (the whitespace is for my easier readability):

Code: Select all

dupe:MD5;Name       sort:Name;md5       md5:     !path:<"patrunjel" | "baka poka B"> 

What i want to achieve now is to search for duplicates of files of a single folder INTO all my library (except for that little !path above).
You can consider i want to take it 'folder by folder'.

Example:

I have all the dupes above, and i want to filter this only to dupes which exist in folder

what to do with these

So valid groups are:

Code: Select all

G:\My Drive\pozen si video in lucru\2019-09 -- Marrakech - Malaga\1\Canon\IMG_7173.CR2
G:\My Drive\pozen si video in lucru\what to do with these\2\1. Marrakech\Canon\CR2\IMG_7173.CR2
G:\My Drive\pozen si video in lucru\abracadabra\what to do with these\2\1. Marrakech\Canon\CR2\IMG_7173.CR2

But an invalid group is (invalid because none of the dupes is in a path containing

what to do with these

):

Code: Select all

G:\My Drive\pozen si video in lucru\2019-09 -- Marrakech - Malaga\1\Canon\IMG_7173.CR2
G:\My Drive\pozen si video in lucru\abracadabra\2\1. Marrakech\Canon\CR2\IMG_7173.CR2

Can i do the same for 2 folder patterns, ie

<"what to do with these" | "another path that i want to check">

.

Basically, i'm looking for something like this:

Code: Select all

dupe:MD5;Name       sort:Name;md5       md5:     !path:<"patrunjel" | "baka poka B">     dupe-path-contains:<"what to do with these" | "another path that i want to check">

Note: all untested!


There is a new search function in 1.5, dupe-from: that can help you here:

Code: Select all

!path:<"patrunjel" | "baka poka B">   md5:   dupe-from:"G:\My Drive\pozen si video in lucru\abracadabra\what to do with these\"   dupe:MD5;Name     

dupe-from: takes a single foldername as a parameter.
A way for multiple foldernames:

• OPen 3 tabs in Everything
• First tab:

  Code: Select all

  [code]!path:<"patrunjel" | "baka poka B">   md5:   dupe-from:"G:\First Folder\"   dupe:MD5;Name     
  

• Second tab:

  Code: Select all

  [code]!path:<"patrunjel" | "baka poka B">   md5:   dupe-from:"G:\Second Folder\"   dupe:MD5;Name     
  

• Third tab:

  Code: Select all

  filelist1: | filelist2:     dupe:MD5;Name

• Copy all results from first tab ('CTRL + A', 'CTRL + SHIFT + C' )
• In tab3, right-click filelist1:
• Select Edit File List Slot from the context menu
• Paste the results from tab1
• Copy all results from tab2
• In tab3, right-click filelist2:
• Select Edit File List Slot from the context menu
• Paste the results from tab2

Tab3 now should contain the desired results.


(Still like your username ; in the meantime I found out that it is also the name of a band (instrumental post-rock; right up my alley ..)

username [...] I found out that it is also the name of a band

Yes, I also found out there's a band with the same name. So i'm not even original

They do offer a funny wordplay with some of their songs: 'The Best Pessimist - Walking with Happiness'.


--------

dupe-from:"/obligatory/fullpath/and/a/single/path/not/a/list/here"

works as expected. Thanks for that.
I am embarrassed that i didn't see the function which is just below the dupe: function .


I have a few requests about this function though: can it be made to work similar to the

path

function?
- can it work with substrings in the path

dupe-from:"baka poka B"

(instead of

dupe-from:"c:/the/full/path/to/baka poka B"

- can it work with a list of paths (and substrings of path mentioned above):

dupe-from:<"patrunjel" | "baka poka B">

@void, Do you think it makes sense to improve

dupe-from

like i suggest?
