Duplicates widget

The Duplicates widget displays a list of files (Office documents, photos, etc.) that have multiple copies across your cataloged sources.

Files are considered to be duplicates of each other if the contents of the files are identical. The name of the file can be different. Images whose resolution has been changed aren't considered to be duplicates, even if they look the same.

The list of items is sorted to show the files with the most copies at the top of the list.

Clicking any item in the list shows a larger thumbnail in the details panel on the right. There, you can see each file individually with its location.

Under the thumbnail there's a Manage button and a Delete button. These buttons are disabled if the file isn't currently available, as you cannot act on the file.

If the file is available, you can use the Manage button to open Microsoft Windows® File Explorer or macOS Finder with that file selected. You can then take actions on the file, such as moving it or deleting it. The Delete* button allows you to delete the file directly from within EdgeRover™.

Caution: This action deletes the source file, not just the entry in the catalog, so use it with caution!
