Compare by content

Post by *sas2000 »

 
I hope that someone can help me with this problem.


On the left window i have 10 files of exactly the same size (506b) but all with different content.

On the right window i have 50 files of exactly the same size (506b) but :

#1- It is possible that some files of this window have 1 or more duplicates on this same window.

#2- No one have the same name of any of the left window files.


How can i synchronize these two directories and make TC to show me wich files have exactly the same content in both windows ?

I can do it with FolderMatch v3.3 but i would like to do it with TC.


Thank you & Merry Christmas to all TC fans.:wink:

Find files can find duplicates even if they dont have the same name. Just go to the advanced tab and select Find duplicate files, uncheck same name and check same contents.
Of all the planets I've been to, this one is my favorite.

It works :lol:, but it won't be more useful to be able to compare files with different name & same content in Synchronize Dirs ¿?.

Thanks Aezay! , Sas.

Synchronize dirs is meant to equalize two dirs. This isn't possible when the files have also different names.
