General Software Discussion / Re: Compare folders with identical files, but .. different file names

the script didn't work, at least not with me. Reason why I am posting here...
I had the toolbar button alright (meanwhile removed), but got a Windows error.

As was mentioned, it's a script plugin, you need to install it: Preferences->Toolbars->Scripts and drop it on the interface.

it was there alright.

Also please note that I am just an 'end-user' ...

As am I but I do know how to use the forum search.


you are great!!

As for the rest: forget it, let it rest.

I was asking for a simple tool, but end up with scripts that don't work with me as well as allegations for not looking good enough.

again, forget it!

Sorry for the delay, one way or the other I didn't get any notifications anymore.

I tried following

But then what? When I click on [OK]  nothing seems to happen.
For yr info: I selected the two folders in the right window panel and then Sync Wizard.

@antekgla
Indeed Duplicate File Finder could not do what I wanted (I -did- gave it a try anyhow, but bad luck)

@skwire
Well, as said, I have tried quite a few of those file comparison tools, but haven't found any of them to offer what I want.
Guess it is quite unique then.

Seems the script should be stored in some folder that 'my' Directory Opus does not have. I have no 'script' folder, nor Dopusdata, nor something that even looks like that. After trying over and over and vainly checking on Internet and reading long texts, well, I gave up.
(Felt I shouldn't keep on nagging there in the Opus forum)
Also please note that I am just an 'end-user' - I am not familiar with scripts. Sorry.

The thread 'Hide identical file names' - that one is new to me. Thanks.
However, actually the issue is that the file names are not identical, the hashes are identical.
It would be nice if it was 'hide files with identical hashes'

General Software Discussion / Compare folders with identical files, but .. different file names

Have vainly been searching for a tool that compares folders that contain in fact the same files, but the files in one folders are renamed.
Meaning to say that hashes, date time stamp and sizes of the files are the same.

All compare tools take the file names into account, by design, there is no option to just compare based on MD5 or so.

I have two relatively big folders, with probably over 90% the same files (different names though), but the folder sizes are different and I would like to figure out what files are missing in the smaller folder.
The tool should therefore 'hide' identical files.

WinDiff, WinMerge, FreeFileSync, GoodSync, Beyond Compare, ExamDiff Pro: not possible.

Thanks!

Yes, you can mark this thread as closed.
I did a CCleaner Wipe Drive on my SSD yesterday, results are as per attachment.

@4WD - thanks.

Sorry.... overlooked it multiple times, too much focused on on the thought that using file shredders on SSD should be avoided.
Hence assumed I was looking at HDD screenshots. Sorry again.
Will check out reviews on file shredders.
Thanks again for taking the time.
