Re-Prioritizing duplicates
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
dupeGuru tries to automatically determine which duplicate should go in each group's reference
|
|
position, but sometimes it gets it wrong. In many cases, clever dupe sorting with "Delta Values"
|
|
and "Dupes Only" options in addition to the "Make Selected into Reference" action does the trick, but
|
|
sometimes, a more powerful option is needed. This is where the Re-Prioritization dialog comes into
|
|
play. You can summon it through the "Re-Prioritize Results" item in the "Actions" menu.
|
|
|
|
This dialog allows you to select criteria according to which a reference dupe will be selected in
|
|
each dupe group. The list of available criteria is on the left and the list of criteria you've
|
|
selected is on the right.
|
|
|
|
A criteria is a category followed by an argument. For example, "Size (Highest)" means that the dupe
|
|
with the biggest size will win. "Folder (/foo/bar)" means that dupes in this folder will win. To add
|
|
a criterion to the rightmost list, first select a category in the combobox, then select a
|
|
subargument in the list below, and then click on the right pointing arrow button.
|
|
|
|
The order of the list on the right is important (you can re-order items through drag & drop). When
|
|
picking a dupe for reference position, the first criterion is used. If there's a tie, the second
|
|
criterion is used and so on and so on. For example, if your arguments are "Size (Highest)" and then
|
|
"Filename (Doesn't end with a number)", the reference file that will be picked in a group will be
|
|
the biggest file, and if two or more files have the same size, the one that has a filename that
|
|
doesn't end with a number will be used. When all criteria result in ties, the order in which dupes
|
|
previously were in the group will be used. |
