When comparing (many, 20K+) folders Duplicate Cleaner is calculating hashes. Sometimes that may take an hour or so.
I only want to compare :
-folder names
-folder sizes
when folder names and sizes are identical - they are duplicates.
Selecting "Ignore content (match by tags or attributes"
I can select same folder names, but there is no same folder sizes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try 'Same file sizes' - that is very fast and will match duplicate folders based on them having the same amount of files with matching file sizes.

Thank you.
My 'mistake': forgot to tag the checkbox "Ignore duplicate groups within the same folder" ... ahum...
Needed parent folders only.
Thanks again.
