Issues with compressed file result
Posted: 31 Oct 2020, 02:39
To save space I've compressed files and introduced the following problems for AllDup:
1. Open file or folder location no longer worked, if an entry is a compressed file
2. Deletion on compressed doesn't work, even if the compressed only contain one file; sometimes (but not all of the time) deleting the uncompressed pair also doesn't work
3. Pseudo/ghost result, or failed linking to actual file; I am guessing AllDup first decompresses into temp, do the matching then return reference however returned the pseudo name to the search result but not the address (neither the ones from temp or actual location)
4. Those uncompressed files in temp accumulate, require manual deletion; also, those write/re-write activities causing a drop in my SSD life so I had to move it to a separate mechanical drive.
5. Run/Rerun time is longer when compression is involved. Is it possible to index by similarity instead by hash?
These issues caused AllDup to report false and un-actionable results cluttering other useful information, also demand a lot of manual searching and costly re-run time.
