i-DeClone: sort by size but keep grouped

Post by Mike707 »

Good day,

I scanned two drives and found lots of duplicates and sorted them by size from larger to smaller. The objective is to focus on the larger files first.

Then, I ran a rule to select duplicates on a specific drive, so those can be deleted. Nice.

But, once the duplicates are found and grouped, the sorting changes to by group number, which is not necessarily by size. The only way to sort by size again is to allow the groups to be broken.

Can't the groups be sorted by file size (i.e.: keep the groups, just change the sort order from group number to file size)? It sounds doable, unless I'm missing something in how the tool works.

Thanks.

at present group order cannot be associated with the other sort column you pick (e.g. size)
if you want to ignore small files, you can set a larger "small file" limit from program options, ensuring that all duplicates found are large enough to your tast
