i-Declone not finding MOV files when searching for Videos

[Mike707]

Hello,

Today I scanned some folders specifically for Videos, because I already knew there where multiple duplicates of MOV files (exact same content, even same name, just different folder). I confirmed that by looking at the folders and by checking folder contents with WizTree.

So I setup i-Declone to scan specifically for videos, and compare content. Surprise: "nothing found".

So I narrowed down to only two folder: still nothing found.

Maybe they're not exactly the same: ran MD5 checksum on two files: exactly the same.

Changed from "Videos" to "All files": the duplicates were found.

I noticed that the files had uppercase "MOV" extension. I tried adding uppercase "MOV" to the list of video extensions in i-Declone, but prior to running the settings summary shows that the uppercase "MOV" was changed to lowercase "mov" (and the list effectively has "mov" twice). Still, nothing found.

Anyway, for whatever reason, it's not finding the MOV files if I search for Videos.

Can we customize the extensions list? Is the extension case-sensitive? Any idea why the MOV files aren't being found?

Snapshots with the different settings (snapshots visible for limited time)

Thanks!

from what I see your 2 video files have 2 seconds difference, so they aren't identical. If you leave out the DATE comparison, they will be found

extension matching is not case sensitive

ps apparently there is a registry setting msDateTolerance (see the documentation) that if set to 2000 should ignore such FAT/NTFS date differences

Good point, but the seconds aren't visible in i-DeClone, it only shows the [same] minutes. Can seconds be added? I scanned again, making sure I didn't have any other comparison than "content" enabled, and it now identified them.

Thanks
