command line options
I usually launch AllDup from my file manager using command line options to pass folders to search:
AllDupPortable -s4 folder1 folder2
it seems that running AllDup this way always disables the 'Detect only duplicates from different source folders' option... I guess because all existing folders are unselected...
I would like to have a command line option to explicitly set the different source folders option. Another useful command line option would be a way to specify different config files.
Thanks

What I did was to set up a second instance of AllDup.
That way it has its own settings, its own config.ini ...
I have a batch file that I use to search the current directory tree:
Within \AllDup\ I have my "normal" profile, started from my desktop.
Within \AllDup\alldup_commandline\ I have a second instance, set up to my liking, specifically to start from a command prompt (via the batch file).
I'm pretty sure that what changes you make to your settings during the run time of AllDup, they are (by default at least) saved when you exit. So unless you specifically change a setting, what you last used should be what is used the next time. If that is the case, then I would expect AllDup to honor the 'different source folders' setting if it had been set.

Agreed.Another useful command line option would be a way to specify different config files.
That way I could just point to the particular config.ini file that I wanted rather then needing to have two actual instances of AllDup.
(Suppose if you could point to a particular config.ini, you would also want/need a particular associated Toolbar.xml too. My two instances are set up quite differently.)

The new update fixes the resetting of the different source folders option but I am still not seeing the behavior I expect... maybe I am not interpreting the meaning of the different source folders option... I thought that with that option set AllDup would not find dups in the same folder and subfolders, that it would only compare files from one folder tree to files in another folder tree... but that is not what is happenning...
Thanks for updating AllDup and for any additional info.
