Feature Request: Manual Add Enter Key Support & Dynamic Reference Folder Update
First of all, thank you wholeheartedly for this software.
1. Manual Add Window - Enter Key
Currently, the Manual Add window does not recognize the Return/Enter key when submitting input.
The only way to confirm an entry is by clicking the OK button with the mouse.
Expected Behavior:
Pressing Return/Enter should act as a shortcut to trigger the OK button, allowing for quicker keyboard-driven use.
2. Reference Folder Checkboxes - Dynamically Update in Duplicates List
After running a search in the Duplicates list, changing the reference folder checkbox in the Directories panel does not reflect in the displayed list until the search is re-run.
Expected Behavior:
Toggling or modifying the reference folder setting should re-evaluate the duplicates list dynamically,
or prompt the user to re-run the scan to reflect the change. This can help avoid some user errors.
3. Mirrored Folder Structures - Compare Only Matching Subfolders Between Two Directories
When comparing two directories recursively, the tool currently checks all files across all subfolders, regardless of folder names or structure.
I'd like to request an option to restrict comparisons to folders with matching names or relative paths only. This would allow the software to work more effectively with mirrored folder structures.
Use Case
For example:
In this case, I would like the comparison to happen only between:
A/Deserts/ ↔ B/Deserts/
A/Forests/ ↔ B/Forests/
Files in one folder should not be compared against files in a differently named folder;
(e.g., A/Deserts/ should not be compared to B/Forests/).
Expected behavior
After detecting duplicates, only non-matching files in each corresponding folder in Directory B should remain.
This feature would be especially helpful when managing backups or synchronized content where folder structure matters.
Suggested Implementation
Possibly a flag or option like: --match-folders-by-name or --scoped-folder-comparison
