Compare One to Many

[Alonzo Mosley]

Dear Internet:

I want to clear pics off my phone. I know I have archived a ton, but not all.

So I copied them all into a directory - C:\PhonePix

I have a ton of subdirectories, one for each trip I've been on (e.g., C:\Users\rjbinney\TravelPix\Elbrus, C:\Users\rjbinney\TravelPix\Bayonne).

Is there a way to see if and where there are dupes from the "left side" (the master "PhonePix" directory) also in the many many right sides (i.e., ..."TravelPix\*").

Thanks!

Perform search with duplicate search option.

Invoke search (ALT+F7) or seperate search (ALT+SHIFT+F7)

On "General" tab:
Search for: *.*
Search in : C:\PhonePix;C:\Users\rjbinney\TravelPix
(directories separated by semicolon)

On "Advanced" tab:
Tick "Find duplicate files"
other options - depending on your decision

From TC help:

same name If enabled, check if files have the same name.
same size If enabled, check if files have the same size.
same contents If enabled, check if files have the same contents. Although this takes long, it ensures that the files are 100% identical

After search you can send found files to panel (Feed To listbox) and select duplicates depends on various conditions with "Select group" command (NUM +)

OK, will give that a try! Thanks.
