Understanding the Display by Group View

Top   Previous   Next

When you have set the zsDuplicateHunter to display duplicates by Group using the View menu, zsDuplicateHunter will display groups of duplicates based on the criteria you set for grouping.

Each group that is displayed will be described with the number of duplicates found and a list of which criteria matches for the files in the group. If you have selected more than one option to group on, zsDuplicateHunter may create nested groups.

 

For example, in the picture above zsDuplicateHunter found 3 files that were of size 17082 bytes and a checksum of E8740CA. Because the size and Checksum are the same, all 3 files are true duplicates of each other.

 

When you open a group, a list of all files in that group will be displayed with the full path of the file as well as the timestamp. You can use the full path and timestamp to identify which duplicates you would like to preserve and which duplicates can be deleted.
