Skip dup matching directories with certain named files

Post by cswanson2 »

I looked here and in the docs, couldn't see how to skip a folder with a certain named file.

For example, I absolutely never want to find a dup match again, I know they are dups, I want them to be dups, but I have tons of other folders that I want to keep scanning.

So if I can add a file like .skipdupscanning or something, it will never match with that folder again.
And I want to be able to put that in many folders, so I skip any folder with that file.

Anything like that?

Thanks,

Carl

Depending on you (disk/directory) layout, something like this might work, viewtopic.php?t=2834.
