Different File Types Search Settings

This chapter will tell you how to search for different types of files.

First choose logical drives and/or folders (Scan Drives and Files and Folders windows) which you would like to scan, then limit (if necessary) a search field in Exclusions.

Now we will use only the Search settings window. Other windows affect scan process insignificantly. In this window we will skip attribute settings, there is nothing complicated. Generally, all attributes can be left grayed, or you may uncheck Hidden.


Let's begin from simple -- general search. Here you can use different variants, concerning to whether you want to compare contents of files.

I

II

You may check Use quick comparison to shorten scan time.


Now music files comparison (mainly MP3).

I

II

Here you can also check Use quick comparison to shorten scan time. But remember that NOT ALL files could be found!


If you would like just to find some files then uncheck all options except attributes. After that in the Files and Folders window, add needed files or their masks, unchecked unnecessary ones before. Now press Scan and as result you will get single group containing selected files.

But there is one exception -- files would be found only when their number is at least two.
