"Hiding" duplicate files

Hello, I don't think this feature is available but I'll post anyway.

Is there a way to "hide" duplicate files because I often deal with several copies of the same file in different folders on the network.

Ideally the search result will display the file once and maybe add a new column the number of duplicate(s) found.

Using v1.3.1.636b

Thanks,

Devin

I've tried your suggestion but unfortunately the behaviour isn't quite what I was looking for.

I've attached an example, which shows duplicates grouped inside its own boxes.

I'd like Everything to show the file once regardless of its location on the network. If the file name is the same but the checksum is different, show both. The hide duplicate feature will be very helpful.

Thanks.
