Same file name across several folders

Post by Larry56 »

I've imported a number of photos and put in a Pending folder. I think most of them have already been cataloged so I've tried using Same file names in States tab using dynamic search as I want to limit the Pending comparing against Year 2024 and Year 2025 folders on computer. My results don't show what I was expecting and not very helpful. There must be a better way.

Is there a way to search for same file name in Pending to see if also found in yar 2024 or year 2025 on my computer and exclude on external hard drive? It would be nice if I could actually see those found with duplicates displayed side by side.

Photo Supreme v2025 and Macbook Sequoia.

Thank you but I don't see that option in Run Script from Repository when right clicking on an image nor in From Depository from filtering options.

I couldn't check out but do you know if that searches the catalog or can I limit to specific folders if it finds matching file name?
