Feature request: Rapid mode (identical files)

Post by cstern »

Sometimes I just need to find files which have the same name and size, If I use this feature in DCP it always also do some MD5 check, which can be lengthy if we are talking about 1000's of files. I would like to have an optional feature that will find all files with the same name and size, and skipping the MD5 check. A warning pop-up should maybe be shown, saying that this doesn't ensure that files are indeed identical, and the user has to check if it is the case when the results are shown.

Thanks for a great program!

You can already do this!
Just choose Regular Mode->Ignore content and set a same name and size criteria.

For those of us lurking on the sidelines that was a VERY HELPFUL TIP.

I wish there were more Videos on DCP5 to unveil the real power of this program for different types of users.

For example, there should be a whole line of videos dedicated to people who are trying to organize their TONS of family videos and photos featuring all the BEST shortcuts to whittle down as FAST AS POSSIBLE.

This would be a GOD-SEND!
