When using dupe:file: on a folder the program is displaying also one instance of a file (example: FILE.txt).
I think it is like this because on the drive there are several FILE.txt files.
I think that when using dupe:file: on a folder, the program should display the duplicates found only in that folder.
Thank you

dupe: works "globally", irrespective of other filtering.
So you cannot limit dupe: (& some other functions) to a single directory.

In this case, what it is telling you, is the file named "file.txt", in addition to being in your specified directory, exists somewhere else too - only you have filtered your results so you are not seeing the other locations it exists.

the program should display the duplicates found only in that folder.

It's on my TODO list. I'm thinking of making a "Special View" of "Show duplicated Filenames" for the current results, maybe something from the View menu..

Does this functionality been implemented already?

Not yet.
