also could you consider to add auto deletion purely by File age (newer or older) or by File Zize and ignoring the similarity (i know very dangerous unless user are super confidence about the data to be deleted is correctly marked as similar)

and instead of move to trash, you may consider directly delete without moving to trash (again dangerous and user must fully aware what they are doing)

and please allow to save setting, so that user do not need to add folder and set other setting again every time the program is restarted.

@chchia What do you mean ignore the similarity ? Couldn’t you just turn the similarity all the way down ?
What scenario would that be useful to you ?

i means ignore all those parameters and just let user to delete either oldest file, or newest files, or smallest or biggest files.

by the way, is there a function to mark both video as "Not A Match"?, so that it wont compare again during next scan?

I’m not sure I understand. As it is, when you’re not using the auto deletion features, these settings in the photo are not at all used. I mean if you’re in the manual mode, then these settings don’t apply !

oh no, but that’s a great idea ! I’ll write it down in #99

By the way I did this when resolving #97

For comparing thousands of scenes the app works fine but it take ages to manually review them all.
The settings iin auto delition could be extended and be more personalised (eg instead of the shortest file name also the longest)
Parameters could be all the metadata.
eg resolution closest to 1280 x 720 (witch choice to which resolution)
The metadata in a list form next to each other in stead of in a grid like now, the grid makes you make a lot of eye moves for just comparing one video.
The ultimate wouldbe an export to a CSV file so that you could use your own scripts to auto delete or move.
A lot, I know, I'm a dev myself, just not in GO but let me know if I can help.
