Steps for reproduction:

1. Make a folder on your drive and gather some .jpg and .json files in it. (For example, download a Google Takout file from Google Photos.)
2. Duplicate some .jpg and .json files in the folder.

4. Select the folder where you gather your .jpg and .json files.

Just passing by...

I had the same question. I put a batch of RAR or ZIP files and their unzipped folders (containing JPGs) in the same folder (e.g., D:\download).

I expected that using the "Find Similar Files" function would show 100% of all comparison images, but in reality, only a few sets of images were found, which obviously doesn't work.
