Re: Finding unique files between 2 folders based on hash.
Try the following: I have been testing this over the past week with the latest update and it seems to be doing everything I wanted, and it’s also very handy that everything allows you to index the hashes in custom user-selected folders. Thank you! I was also wondering if I was able to exclude certa...

Re: Finding unique files between 2 folders based on hash.
I’m still interested in what the next update to 1.5 can do, but I found a nice workaround which involves a few steps. 1a. find the distinct files in folder A, based on hash e.g. "C:\folder A" distinct:MD5 1b. save the search results as a .efu file. e.g. folderA_distinct.efu 2a. find distin...

Re: Finding unique files between 2 folders based on hash.
@NotNull Thanks for looking into it! Actually, I just remembered that there’s another feature I’d find useful with this. If a file is duplicated 2 or more times in folderA, but that same file doesn’t occur anywhere in folderB, then I’d also like that to show up as a unique result in the search. The ...

Finding unique files between 2 folders based on hash.
Hi, from what I understand, the filter provided below, from this thread, will allow you to bring up all files that exist in only one of two folders. In order to be regarded as a non-duplicate, a file in 'folder A' would need to have a combination of all three characteristics: name, size, and date mo...
