The list in the Find Duplicate Files and Find Unique Files windows can contain files, folders, and disks. The files in the list, as well as the files contained in the folders and disks in the list, are examined in the scan. To add items to the list, use the Add button or drag them into the list from the Finder. To remove selected items from the list, use the Remove button or the Delete key. |
|
Items can be added to the list with the Add button or by dragging them into the list from the Finder. No item in the list can reside in any other item in the list, and this is enforced while adding items to the list. |
|
As an example, suppose a file named 'Macintosh' is in a folder named 'Computers'. Macintosh and Computers cannot both be in the list at the same time. Trying to add the both (by dragging them in) will result in only Computers appearing in the list. If Macintosh is in the list and Computers is added, Macintosh will be removed. If Computers is in the list and you attempt to add Macintosh, it will be ignored. |
|
Items can also be added using the Find command. The results of a find can be directed to the Find Duplicate Files window by selecting the Duplicate Files Window option in the Find window. Use this feature to restrict the duplicate scan to perticular kinds of files. |
|
When a folder is expanded in the list, the items inside are checked instead of the folder itself, so expand a folder and remove an item it contains to exclude that item from the scan for duplicates. |
