What I'd really like to see someday to address this (in addition to the multi drive bug fix) is 2 things:Ī) an extension to the internal command set so that we could directly invoke the dupe file search from a toolbar button and run it against series of selected folders or against the current folders in a dual pane lister.ī) an extension to the existing dupe file finder utility so that we could specify multiple folders in a similar UI pattern to what GP offers to add additional filters to a filtered operation - ie: some plus and minus buttons to reveal or hide additional 'Search for duplicate files in:' fields.

and it 'would' work if this little bug in the dupe search were fixed. So, what I would have suggested if the multiple logical drive selection worked right is to use SUBST to alias each folder as a logical drive letter, then you can select them using the multi drive select functionality Opus offers. but if they're actually on separate logical drives, then moving a folder with a lot of data under it is just not an option. Since we cannot, (feature request?) in the case where the two folders you want to search are on the 'same' logical drive, it's not THAT big a deal to temporarily move the two folders to a common parent dir and just search that parent folder. Well, I've seen various ppl here on the forums like John ask if we can directly select multiple distinct 'folders' for a dupe file search operation (like we can for multiple logical drives).
