RFE: Find Duplicates - Highlight Alternating Dups

[void]

Group colors are bound to the current sort.

If you click on the SHA-256 column, will that then give you want you want (as that will then sort by SHA-256) ?

@void - thanks for the feedback.
I allready guessed this - but was hoping for a small chance

@therube
No, unfortunately not.
As then the grouping by name is not done any longer.

What I am looking for is a workflow.

(1) search for all files which are name like "sfw*.pas" and order (group) by name
(2) add the sha256 column to see which files are the same, and which differ (but all - not only duped ones)
(3) [wish] keep the group by name but order by a second column inside the grouping (like sha256 or size, or...)
Now it get obvoius at which files I need to take a closer look

(4) Selecting a file(group) by selecting one of the files
(5) open these files in a new search windows by its exact name (but not path) [a keyboard shortcut for this would be very helpful]
(6) now merge those files with a tool like Beyond Compare
[ A Keyboard Shortcut would be very helpful to start an external program with all selected files in a parameter list ]

Thanks all for your help

Code: Select all

custom_open_command01=$exec("C:\BIN\XXhash64.BAT" %*)
custom_open_command02=$exec("C:\BIN\i_view32.exe" %* /thumbs)
custom_open_command03=$exec("C:\DEV\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" %*)
custom_open_command05=$exec("C:\WLIB\PLAYERS\mpv.net\mpvnet.exe" %*)

With hotkeys assigned to all.

Custom Open Commands

Very cool - thanks a lot.
Works like a charm with Beyond Compare

Is there a way to open the filename as a new search in a new tab as well ?

Wow, I've spent so many hours experimenting and trying to find the exact combination of custom open syntax and parameters to properly send a multi-selection to mpvnet, and could never quite hit on it. But this works! Thank you so much.
