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.

I feel like I'm missing something... Where is exactly the "Same file sizes" option?

You mentioned this in the Help under Scan Criteria tab, but I don't see the option in the picture either.

Duplicate Cleaner Pro 5.27.0 64 bit

Scan criteria: Regular mode, Ignore content

More duplicate options: Same file size


(Same file size will not display unless Ignore content or Similar content are enabled.)
