Find files NOT duplicated!

Hi,

I would like to be able to identify and manipulate files NOT duplicated (in this case not backed up). Does AllDup support this 'inverse' function? (I can't see how I can do this).

'Sync' or backup programs always assume source/destination folders are the same whereas this may not be the case so produce an erroneous 'missing' file report - dupe finders don't assume the same folder structure so suit my purpose.

Thanks, Jonny

Hi, finding not duplicates will be a very useful feature!

I have 2 PC with nearly the same files but organized in a different directory structure.
I would like to know if there is some file not present in one of the PCs.
It's is impossible to find with a classic sync tool, because they use paths.
It's is impossible to find with a classic dup finder tool, because they look for duplicates.

So i hope this missing feature in AllDup will be implemented.

Thanks a lot.
Daniele

I think this is a great feature to add. I could certainly used it and I have not seen this in other application.

Find files that aren't duplicates when comparing the contents of two directories would be a great new feature. I need this. The software author could add it as a paid version feature or not.

Great program, my compliments to the chef !
:D

Come on guys, back in Sep 2010 you said 'I will note your suggestion to our ToDo-List!'.

This feature would separate you from the competition... I'm still waiting :)
