I cannot find the " standard  File Window layout attributes" that show the duplicates side by side showing files size, Date & Time, and Dimension differences for duplicates.  The Help menu says the below.  If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

The standard File Window Layout Result Window for Duplicates uses the special File Window layout attributes:
  • File Size Difference (Result Sets)
  • Date & Time Difference (Result Sets)
  • Dimensions Difference (Result Sets)

This was introduced a number of versions ago. You can either re-import the standard File Window layouts again if you did not at the time, or you create the layout yourself, based on the description in the help system. It's simply this:

Header shows file name and date time as per usual. Then

which is helpful to figure out which version of a file to keep by date and size. Note also the dedicated commands in Cleaning Up Duplicate Files Quickly

Thank you.  I re-imported them from the reference you made in August of 2023.  Thank you!

Mario:

One last question on the duplicate window.  I am searching for Binary duplicates. Atch 1 shows the original and two duplicates.  When I look to see if the Original has been assigned a category (it shows no category assignment, yet I know it is assigned to "Mike".  

I attached the 2nd attachment to show that when I go to that original image it was assigned to the category "Mike". In the search results shouldn't it show me which categories the Original is assigned to?

The reason I'm asking is that I may decide to keep the duplicate image that has category assignments and delete the original.

Does that make sense?

Thank you!
