Hi, Duplicate search need lots of works in my opinion

Let's make it clear
If I have these

FOLDER1-SAMENAME-LIVE.MP3
FOLDER2-SAMENAME-LIVE.MP3
FOLDER3-DIFFNAME-LIVE.MP3

now I have 3 parent folders and 2 FOLDERS of them have the same names but all files inside have the same name and same MD5 hashes very important

I need to only get results for the files that have the same parent exact names

So in this case I did go to file search

duplicate search and I selected file content and from filter I add parent name and I selected equal

But the result showed all 3 files however one of the 3 folder that is parent folder a have different name

I want to see results for

FOLDER1-SAMENAME-LIVE.MP3
FOLDER2-SAMENAME-LIVE.MP3

Not sure if you guys need to add an option for exact parent folder names and more options in filters or how to get this done maybe just fix that bug ?

I wish there is a live chat support or emails for Devs to be able to talk to them faster .

Thank you.

I rephrased the subject of this post to be more clear and hope it fits your intention.

Yes , I want to list only the files that have the exact parent folders names and files with exact names too , more options are better .

the current filter looks good but doesn't work like it should under this case

> duplicate search and I selected file content and from filter I add parent name and I selected equal

In that part of the duplicate search you may exclude certain paths or folders from the matches. That would be useful if yiu want to generally exclude folders name "FOLDER3" from the results.

But did I understand you right: You want to list all files that have the same MD5 hash and the same parent folder name?

This is currently not possible, but would be a valid feature request. If I got you right, I will rephrase the subject of your post accordingly.
