AllDup not finding Known Dups
Posted: 28 Jun 2023, 02:09
I've been using AllDup for at least a year (probably more) and it has been great!
I'm now using AllDup ver 4.5.48 with a clean install of Windows 11.
Since it's a new setup, I may have set something set incorrectly but Alldup is behaving strangely. In one specific comparison, Alldup is missing known duplicates.
I'm doing a file content only comparison between 2 folders using SHA-1. Both hard drives are attached to my PC internally.
I selected "only compare files between different source folders", the only file filters set are (excusive:) *.sfk and *.sfap0, and the folder filters are the defaults set by alldup.
These are the folders I'm comparing:
D:\Users\username\Documents
and
E:\Users\Public\Downloads
When I tried to check these folders again, Alldup instantly responded there are no duplicates found. It's as if it didn't even run the checksums.
I tried clearing and resetting the database (and also tried disabling the database). It didn't help.
When I tried selecting "compare files from all sources" alldup did a thorough search but only identified duplicates within the 'D:\Users\username\Documents' folder. I know there are files with matching hashes on the E: drive.
What am I missing?
