Uwe Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hello, to remove the wrong duplicates I have to reimport the files. 1. I select the "Duplicates Tag" 2. Sort by: Folder 3. Select all covers of an artist in the Thumbnail Window 4. Remove the selected items from catalog 5. Rescan the folder of this artist 6. Rescan is finished and "Last Imported" is selected 7. I select the "Duplicates Tag" again and now the "Sort by" is changed to "File Size" Regards, Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilfriedB Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 7. I select the "Duplicates Tag" again and now the "Sort by" is changed to "File Size" Uwe, I noticed the same behavior and was surprised too. However, after a while I considered the sort by file size as the right thing to do in this situation, because the duplicates most likely show up adjacently. Furthermore, (if I remember correctly) the same happens when you press F5=Refresh. After first confusion, I found it very helpful: After deleting one of the duplicate pair and pressing F5, you see easily, both disappeared from the view, which also helps to avoid accidentally deleting both.

Uwe Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hello, yes, you are right: "sort by file size" is the best way to work with duplicates BUT I don't want to lose the settings I made before: "sort by ...". when I change the selected tag etc. At this moment I have to find the "real" duplicates within the total number of duplicates. I opened this new post because the other one was about the general functionality. Regards, Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilfriedB Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I just noticed, it is even worse: After using the "Duplicates" view, I opened another saved search, I created earlier and it also has "Sort By: File Size" now. While it is a good idea to use that setting in many but not all cases when resolving duplicates, it does not make sense to me to change the setting silently and even keep it for other searches. In general, I would prefer the "Sort By" being an attribute of each saved search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
