Add folders from the context menu

[Mike999]

Suggestion

Searching for duplicates in multiple folders.
Example:
Select any file in folderA - context menu: "Add folderA to AllDupe"
Select any file in folderB - context menu: "Add folderB to AllDupe"
etc.

Then context menu - AllDup - Find duplicates by
UserProfile > named of stored profile, e.g. Name-Ext-Modified

Maybe something could be whipped up, writing wanted dirnames to a file, then using AllDup command-line options to parse said directory names.

You're in "Explorer", right-click, SendTo -> Write.dirname.to.AllDUP
& that does something to the effect to... write said dirname to a file, say c:/out/AllDup_dirnames.TXT

AllDup_dirnames.TXT:

Code: Select all

c:\tmp\bru
c:\123\mp
c:\bin\tar

Then, say you have a desktop shortcut that parses said dirnames & runs AllDup...

go.bat (pseudo-code):

Code: Select all

for %i in (AllDup_dirnames.TXT) do set LIST="%i"
AllDup.exe -s125 %LIST% -p"myprofile"

(Devil's in the details .)

Thanks. Really appreciated. Think though having a context menu item gives some more flexibility.

The right click "Add to AllDup" would result in the folder being listed/showing up in the AllDup source folder panel.
Just a simple idea from someone who hwas 0 knowledge of programming...
