Hello

I'm new with AllDup here. I had been playing with it, but I'm stuck with one things I want to do.
I have two directories with a lot of .zip files. I want to compare the .exe inside the .zip files (within the two directories) and get a report of which .exe are the same name and size.

Is this possible with AllDup? Can you please share with me the procedure.

Regards

1. Add the two directories to the source folder list
2. Activate the folder comparison method "Compare only files between different source folders"
3. Use the search method "Find Duplicate Files on the Basis of their Properties" with name and size.
4. Activate the option "Scan the following archive types" and activate the type "zip".
5. Start the search for dups...

Thanks for the feedback.

It worked, but I want to focus that the results only shows the .exe. Is there a way to show only the .exe on the results?

Regards

Use the file filter settings.
