OK, here's the skinny. I am simply looking for duplicate files across two different folder structures.

I do not want to take folder names into consideration. I inadvertently synced two hard drives with identical photos but in different folder names.

I have a mess. I'm talking about hundreds of photos. Is there a way to get ViceVersa to find identical file names and ignore the folder structure? It seems to consider the files as different if they are in different folder trees. Thanks, -stu

Hi stu
it is not possible with ViceVersa. Try 'duplicate file finder' on Google...

Oh well, that's a bummer.
Thanks for getting back to me, though.

The solution was to dissect out all the dupes by hand, one at a time, LOL.
But I'm finished now, so water under the bridge Very Happy
