Cross referencing 2 large music collections ?

[dasmueller]

gary, that's what I was describing above-it does not show # of files

[dasmueller]

If I search for *.db in my Music folder I find hundreds of files. Are you sure you are searching correctly as turning off the filter reveals them to be there.

I typed *.db in the search filter area top right

OK but you did say that thumbs showed up in freefilesync so they must be there.

The why can't I see them in the folder itself ?

and there are still 451 files unaccounted for

Are you showing extensions for files? I don't know but maybe if extensions are hidden then a search will not find them. If you just open an album folder is there a thumbs file in there?

Or search for "thumbs" instead of *.db

[dasmueller]

OK, if I go into folder options and unclick-Hide protected operating system files the Thumbs are then visible.

That leaves 2 questions

1. why do some folders have them and others not ?
2. how to find what and where are the other 451 extra files in the source folder

When you untick "Hide excluded files" in freefilesync at the bottom of the page you should see all the extra files in the source folder.

I'm running version 8.4 and do not see the box you refer to

At the top of page, between the "compare" box and the "synchronize" box, there is a graphic of a filter. Click the filter and you'll see options (3 different tabs of options)

I'm on 5.15. Just updated to 9.6 and I cannot see it either. Seems to have been removed. You could clear the filter using the drop down menu next to the red funnel at the top of the page.
