Find similar files" - delete specific file

Post by avaluedcustomer »

Hi,

I really like the "Find similar files" feature, but it lacks one feature to make it really useful:

I can't find a way to specify which file to delete. I only get the choice to delete the one on the right side, never the one on the left side (if two copies are found)

How can I delete the file on the left side?

Thanks

If you don't select anything and choose "delete reference + selected" you will delete the file on the LEFT (reference only. There's nothing selected). If you select something (tag), you will delete that one, probably on the RIGHT. Yes, this has been brought up a few times. The interface needs some polishing but it's useable.

Hmm, not very userfriendly (nor understable..)

Thanks for the tip, it does work this way
