Slow with Compare Between Different Folders
AllDup 4.5.26
Ah, recycle.bin is not the issue.
So lets start again...
Search is VERY slow:
If:
- Compare only files between different source folders
And:
- Size (or Content, perhaps, not sure?)
And:
- directory includes a large number of files (perhaps a large number of same sized files)
Other Comparison Methods are quick.
Other Search Methods are quick (again, unsure of Content).
Options & Filters are not an issue.
(discrepancy in counts due to methods used to determine, but, they're close)
Issue here (aside from just being slow), is that I've already separated size dups [& size dups that were
in different Original Locations, at that] (as I'm almost certain that they are in fact Content dups too)
into /music.xxx2/ & /x2/ & I don't need the hashes of recycle.bin - except for those that are dup'd in
other directories, which would be MUCH quicker then hashing all 46K in recycle.bin (& purposeless).

Ignore -^.if you include a $recycle.bin in your search
- regardless of Folder Exclusion
T:\$RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-3350321682-930001023-2409569994-1000
