Hi , this is one crazy idea of my own but for real i need it so bad
I have tons of tons of folders that have same names while the parents folders are has it's different names for sure
So now each of these folder have one note file that is a random on size so when i search for dupe folders with name and size this one note.txt file will make the whole process to fail
so can i use dupe:size;name - while exclude .txt file inside each of every folder ?
so lets say an example
D:\FOLDER_1\MUSIC\111.MP3
D:\FOLDER_1\MUSIC\NOTE.TXT
D:\FOLDER_2\MUSIC\111.MP3
D:\FOLDER_2\MUSIC\NOTE.TXT
I want to dupe only perfect size matches folder while exclude the .txt file however if there is different md5 for these files , hope to see a live chat here or discord ?
hope i explained my point , Thanks .
Is it possible to do dupe folder while exclude one file type or more

Re: Is it possible to do dupe folder while exclude one file type or more
This can be done if you exclude the txt files from your index:
Search for the following:
folder: dupe:size;name
The folder size will not include the size from the txt files.
- In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Exclude tab on the left.
- Set exclude files to:
D:\FOLDER_1\**.txt;D:\FOLDER_2\**.txt - Click OK.
- In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Exclude tab on the left.
- Click Add filter....
- Set the filter to:
D:\FOLDER_1\**.txt - Click OK.
- Click Add filter....
- Set the filter to:
D:\FOLDER_2\**.txt - Click OK.
- Click OK.
Search for the following:
folder: dupe:size;name
The folder size will not include the size from the txt files.

Sorry, I should have specified a file filter.
Please remove the folder filters and the following file filter:
