Ignore/Exclude Selected "False Positive" Duplicates

Post by Anagoge »

Is there a feature I somewhere to select/check some files in the search results and ignore/exclude those specific false positive matches that are similar, but that I don't consider to be actual duplicates? Then those specific files would not show as duplicates in future searches, to clean up my search results. Note that I don't want to exclude entire folders, only specific image files. Thank you!

Right-Click on a file in the search result -> Filter -> Add file name to the file filter.

Thanks for this, since it makes the tool a lot more useful for me. The reason I couldn't find this option before was that I was right-clicking the group and trying to add all files in the group to the filter, and I also tested multi-selecting several files and neither of those allows adding files to the filter (probably because it asks to confirm each added filename). But it works almost as well to select individual files and add them that way. Thanks!

For anyone else trying to get this working, you also have to go to the File Filter settings before starting a search and check "Use File Filter" and also select Exclusive mode. Then the search results will exclude all of the file names you have checked in the filter section.
