Filtering
---------
dupeGuru supports post-scan filtering. With it, you can narrow down your results so you can perform actions on a subset of it. For example, you could easily mark all duplicates with their filename containing "copy" from your results using the filter.

**Windows:** To use the filtering feature, click on Actions --> Apply Filter, write down the filter you want to apply and click OK. To go back to unfiltered results, click on Actions --> Cancel Filter.
To use the filtering feature, type your filter in the "Filter" search field at the top-right corner
of the results window. To go back to unfiltered result, blank out the field or click on the "X".
**Mac OS X:** To use the filtering feature, type your filter in the "Filter" search field in the toolbar. To go back to unfiltered result, blank out the field, or click on the "X".
In simple mode (the default mode), whatever you type as the filter is the string used to perform the
actual filtering, with the exception of one wildcard: **\***. Thus, if you type "[*]" as your
filter, it will match anything with [] brackets in it, whatever is in between those brackets.

For more advanced filtering, you can turn "Use regular expressions when filtering" on. The filtering feature will then use **regular expressions**. A regular expression is a language for matching text. Explaining them is beyond the scope of this document. A good place to start learning it is `regular-expressions.info <http://www.regular-expressions.info>`_.

Matches are case insensitive in both simple and regexp mode.
For the filter to match, your regular expression don't have to match the whole filename, it just have to contain a string matching the expression.

You might notice that not all duplicates in the filtered results will match your filter. That is because as soon as one single duplicate in a group matches the filter, the whole group stays in the results so you can have a better view of the duplicate's context. However, non-matching duplicates are in "reference mode". Therefore, you can perform actions like Mark All and be sure to only mark filtered duplicates.
