Just a little difference in file size, but no dups (file content)
Posted: 14 Feb 2022, 15:22
This has cost me some headaches... I just don't understand what I am doing wrong (in my head).
I have some identical (at first sight) video and image files (only a difference in size), but for some reason AllDup sees them as being different when doing a content search (byte by byte). Even if I set the byte to byte match to 1% they are still being seen as different. These files have the same filename and extension, so I could easily do a search for duplicates, but I am just trying to figure out why Alldup is doing what is does
My settings in this specific case.
The files not being seen as duplicates when comparing content, but in this screenshot only when comparing filename and extension.
The only thing I can think about is the difference in the Media created date. I changed that.
