Duplication by Group

Help & Support
1

Sometimes I get lucky and get a project done. Several months ago I was able to find a particular file using duplication by group and eliminate the files that I did not need.

Now for some reason the matter what I try it is not coming out right. My requirements are such:
x:\ Dive (all files with the name builder.dbf) by group using "MD5 Checkdum". Using "MD5 Checkdum" I end up with many groups, some even displaying the same file size. At least by doing this I can eliminate the need to go into seemingly similar files. This makes deletion very easy.

My problem as that when I do a duplication it wants to find all duplication's on the X Dr. for a filter I use builder.DBF. Even though I set a filter it gives me every file, files that don't even come close to the name builder.dbf

The filter name is just the name of a filter, which is defined in a separate window. It is not a wildcard.

If you want to find duplicates of a particular file, use the second panel at the bottom of the duplicate file finder which lets you specify individual files to look for.

Thanks for helping me to understand the filter.

On the second matter when I try to specify a file it doesn't seem to work the way I would think. I'll work with it a bit more so I can better explain my problem.
