AllSync & AllDup

@undupit, might you be using a ReFS formatted drive (Win11) ?

200K files & I'm looking at ~18 minutes (or maybe ~15 minutes). Win7, i7-3770S, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD (runs acceptably for my needs, but dated, old) (first time, I thought I'd deselected the... (something about all files selected option), but maybe i missed it?) Duplicates based on size. After foun...

When this happens, do you still have the AllDup icon on the Windows Taskbar? From what I see on my end (Win7) the Add Folder dialog is modal to the main DC window, & so long as that dialog is open, you can't interact with the main window. Likewise if (say all) windows are minimized, clicking on ...

Any File/Folder Filtering going on? Or your particular Search Method is not expected to find all files? And actually... That particular dialog, is that not going to be the number of files that are Selected ? There are, 16586 files total that were found, that met your search criteria, & of that y...

In 4.5.72, you can work-around it...

Exit AllDup.

(Backup first.)
Edit config4.ini.

In the, [Shortcuts], section
add (or modify, as appropriate) the following:
That should get you back working again.

How do (did) you go about assigning <Enter> to be the hotkey?

Oh, that's how.
In earlier versions, you simply hit <CR> (the same as any other key you might want to use).
In 4.5.72, that (hitting <CR>) no longer works.

After updating Alldup to version 4.6.72

Is that a typo?
Should it read 4.5.72 ?

If you're speaking of this, working here, but I'm on Win7.

Where are you seeing that dropdown? In File Manager? Are you sure you're in the right board/forum? Oh. Heh. Options, on the main screen. In any case, wouldn't: MM-DD-YYYY HH-NN-SS AMPM do it? And wouldn't / be illegal in the filename? (I guess you can ignore that too, & go with below: ;-).) MM/...

1) Search: Properties -> Name Ignore characters: <sp>() Ignore strings: 1/2/3 Something along those lines might work. <sp> is a physical space. Might depend on what your words are. date.js & date (1).js, has a space so you need to look for it. date.js & date(1).js, does not have a space, so ...

checksum.adb is an sqlite file. So see what you might be able to do with that. SQLite , from command line or I imagine there are any number of GUI's out there. --- Some rambling on "hashing". voidhash voidhash, the ramble (And that said, I've not found anything that I'm truly comfortable w...

Looks like you can do OR, but not AND. Length, I would suspect deals with the Length that Windows sees, rather then (the possibility) of audio & video having different lengths within a single file (which can & does happen), if that is what you are after. So AllDup can do 1 OR 2, but not AND....

Also, the Download page has SHA1 checksum values that you can compare your download to verify against.

Two files or two folders?
