uncheck all for "find duplicate files" (selected drives/..)

Post by XtremeMaC » Fri Nov 19, 2010 10:57 am

Hi there,

when I remove duplicates, they can sometimes reside under lots of subfolders F:\a\b\c\d\e\f\g\dups, kind of...
while its nice for AU to remember the last used paths it kills me to navigate to those folders again and unselect them when i'm finding duplicates elsewhere..

can an unselect previously selected entries or unselect all sort of thing be implemented into AU find duplicate files?
in the selected drives/folders region of "drives/folders to scan"

thanks

You can right-click inside the list on the left side and then choose 'Uncheck All' to remove the check-marks from all the previously selected folders.

that doesn't really work...well kind of..
1. I've to click on the drive first
2. navigate to the folder
3. navitage to the child folder, then to the other child
4. click on + to expand the parent folder
then click uncheck..

clicking on the drive and selecting uncheck doesn't work
clicking on the upper parent folder and selecting uncheck doesn't work
etc..
tried it 100ths of times..

example:
folder example
folder example
Untitled.png (20.34 KiB) Viewed 11895 times
click on test uncheck all, nothing
click on +, uncheck all, nothing

click on abc uncheck all, nothing
click on +, uncheck all, nothing

click on 123 uncheck all, nothing
click on +, uncheck all, nothing

click on something uncheck all, nothing
click on +, uncheck all, then it works....

while trying these out, I however just discovered that if i click on the drive to first select all, then click on uncheck all, it works..
