Topic: Dupes by Tag does not always capture all...

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Something that has always bugged me when I get to wanting to do some manual deduping of files. The Dupes filter seems to really only catch some things. For instance, I know when it pops up a pair of dupes and I know that there are more. So I will search and it's never initially caught in the filter. And we are talking identical titles, artists, even album title.

Just never quite understood why it's fuzzy logic can catch variants pretty well but then always seems to miss some.

Any thoughts?

You are checking in the duplicates By Tag subfolder?

That is correct. The fuzzy logic just seems to miss on things and I can't really pin anything on it. Similar file sizes, sometimes 100% identical to others other than maybe file path.

Can you check the remix column as well?

The instrumental would indeed not be found as a duplicate, but the other one should, unless it's a remix by the remix field.

Here is another example since I already manually pruned those files.

I'll be damned, it was the remix tag...
