SOLVED: Compare locations and remove duplicate folders

<< < (2/5) > >>

4wd:
There's also FreeCommanderXE, (which looks better IMHO :) ):

Open Extras->Settings->Compare Folders and choose your options:

SOLVED: Compare locations and remove duplicate folders

Navigate to the folders in the Left and Right pane:

SOLVED: Compare locations and remove duplicate folders

Select Folder->Compare (Alt + V by default) and the folders that are different will be highlighted on both sides but only the right side will be active:

SOLVED: Compare locations and remove duplicate folders

Select Edit->Invert Selection (Num * by default):

SOLVED: Compare locations and remove duplicate folders

Then you can delete, move, etc.

Thanks
Well it is actually a good thing for me if this program doesn't compare a folder without files, but it should if it contains subfolders.

Exactly. In essence this is what I reported to the author.

In the example above, "Autechre" should not be considered as a duplicate (no files inside, only folders)
Do you think it is possible to acheive this with Ztree?

I don't get it here. In my opinion both the "Autechre" folders are duplicates, according to theirs names, aren't they? They even contain the exactly same subfolders. Anyway, for the time being you can experiment with ZTW with a workaround by putting one small file into each empty "Autechre" folder.

Never heard of it, looks interesting. Not that I'm going to even try, though. ZTree is addictive. It's not an eye candy application, it's targeted on keyboard maniacs like myself, who prefer productivity and speed. I bet nothing can beat it in this regard.

Autechre folders are different in "A" and "B", the subfolders are different (Amber vs Anti EP). So imagine if theses "Autechre" were marked as duplicates, they would be removed in "B", no matter if the subfolders are different.
This is why I say folders without files shouldn't be compared.

I'll try FreeCommanderXE too. I don't know where you found these, I've spent hours searching and I could only come up with files comparison tools!

A lot of filemanagers, (especially dual pane), have some kind of comparison function, just depends how far they can be tweaked to get what you want.

Chinese site but here's a list of 60 - knock yourself out :)

The site is out of date so some of the links don't work but a search should find most of the no longer linked ones.

4wd, do you know if there's a way so that FreeCommanderXE will scan and compare subfolders too?
