Hi there
We have that yearly drive cleaning session in the office where each departement has purge its folders.
What i'd like to do is generate for each departement a *.txt file where they see all duplicate files. There are quite a few. And I'd like to use the MD5 Checksum method.
Now I have troubles getting them correctly into the txt file. I know about the print folder (to file) function, but what i cannot achieve is to get them grouped together. If I export them they should appear in the txt grouped as they are displayed in the lister. Otherwhise sorted e.g. by name it's no use after all. You have no clue which are the duplicate ones that belong together.
Well, ok, i thought of adding the MD5 checksum column, after all that's what it looks for. but then one can wait really forever and ever and ever till Dopus writes all the checksums into that column. that is finding duplicates took about 15 minutes for just one department's folders and subfolders (which is fine). but the checksum column is not filled or just with the first few and completing goes an eternity up to the point that I had to stop the process. And printing is not possible before that job is done (that is it sorts the list).
Sorting by size would be a workaround which would work for most files, but it's ab bit of a risk after all if i communicate that the duplicate ones are the ones with the same file size.
So, it's not that I didn't try the obvious, it seems. But is there no way to export the list just the way it's grouped from the start.
thanks for any help.
