When searching for similar files the result dialog shows the image file A as result on the left side and on the right side the same file A. From what I can see the problem occurs only with "Include subfolders" activated.
To reproduce:
1.) Browse a folder with some subdirectories and images in it (not too deep structure).
2.) Choose "Tools > Find similar..."
3.) Activate "Include subfolders"
4.) Start search with "Find"
--> After a while the result dialog will appear. The same file is listed as similar file although filename and path is the same (Bug
)

Hi !
• I got this, yes. But the function seems totally broken :
• Making some extra tests (after closing¦restarting), I got the “Compare…” window as the result,
showing couples of files quite different !

You have this problem in filename or data?

I search files with similar filename. This is what the result looks like:
As you can see the same image file is listed twice. As written above this only happens when using "Include subfolders".

Really strange, i can't reproduce this bug...
The showed file has a duplicate in a subfolder?

Pierre, like you can see on the
helmut 's pic above, this is exactly
the same path ! Not a dupe in a sub-folder !
- This occurs here also, in the same situation…

You would see the sub-folder in the path on one side ! There is not !

Yes, the same file is listed in a subfolder named "500 images". I've just renamed the file in the subfolder, then the problem no longer occurs. You are on the right track...

So you you have
base_folder\IMG_2390.jpg
base_folder\500 images\IMG_2390.jpg
?
