How can I find all duplicates of certain file? Not for duplicates of all files like in "Serach -> Advanced -> Find duplicate files". I need a way to search all duplicates of specific file(s).
I wonder if TC (plugin?) can search file by its hash(es), for example MD5. It should be sufficient.
Edit: Note that duplicates can have different filenames and even different extensions. Feature that I need should compare content (or hash) only.

Re: Find duplicates of specific file(s)
I would use a plugin which calculates a checksum, e.g.
http://totalcmd.net/plugring/LotsOfHashes.html
Then calculate the checksum of the file you search, and then
search for
tc - size = <size of the file>
hashplugin - the hash you want = <hash of the file>
The size check is important, otherwise you would calculate the hash for thousands of files for nothing.
