FindOnClick: How to autoselect duplicate files for deletion?

Postby odditory » Wed Jan 20, 2010 4:04 am

I installed FindOnClick because it advertised the ability to find duplicate files. However when it comes up with the results screen, I really wish there were an option to auto-select duplicates so I didn't have to go through manually one by one.

I just finishing running it for the first time and I realized with so many duplicates that it would take hours to CTRL-CLICK every other file.

The whole reason I purchased Onclick Utilities was just for dupe file finding and with this glaring omission in functionality I have to look for something else. Am I not doing something right or is auto-selecting dupe files in fact a missing feature?

There are options on the main Search dialog (just below Filename Filter) to Highlight Duplicate Files and Only Show Duplicate Files (the latter is disabled till the former is selected)

EDIT> You can then use Select All (Ctrl-A), and then de-select the ones you want to keep and delete (etc) the rest (no-one can automate that part for you)
