Remove entries from the "feed-to-listbox" list ?

[jo2h2]

Hello,

I am using TC to search and eleminate large number of duplicate files.

1. I include the file path to the file pane, so I can see which files belong together
2. I am searching for identical files by same size and same content
3. I feed the results to listbox

Now I have a long list of file pairs - exactly what I expect - fine :

------------
folder1\file1
folder2\file1
------------
folder_3\file2
folder_4\file2
------------
folder1\file3
folder2\file3
------------

Now for one of those files I select all files from the same folder, e.g. folder2 with cm_SelectCurrentPath and can delete them from within this listbox - great.

All deleted files are removed from the list, as a result I get a smaller list, without the pairs, only lots of single files, separated by lines.

------------
folder1\file1
------------
folder_3\file2
folder_4\file2
------------
folder1\file3
------------


OK, here my question:

As I want to focus on the not yet processed file pairs, I want to get rid of those already processed.


Q1: Is there a way, a command to remove files from the file list without deleting the file itself ?

Q2: Or is there a way to remove all remaining "single" files from the list which are not pairs anymore ?


So I could:
1. select all files from the same folder (cm_SelectCurrentPath)
2. delete them from within this listbox (the deleted files are removed from list)
3. then manually "un-show / hide" the remaining files which are no pairs anymore
4. chose the next file pair to check / delete, like:

------------
folder_3\file2
folder_4\file2
------------

Thanks a lot for any idea or hint

Best wishes,
Sam ...

Q1: Is there a way, a command to remove files from the file list without deleting the file itself?

Mark -> Select All (cm_selectall), unselect singles manually, Show -> Only Selected Files (cm_ShowOnlySelected).
Unselecting singles manually can be tedious for long list so probably it's faster to find duplicates again.

Q2: Or is there a way to remove all remaining "single" files from the list which are not pairs anymore?

As far as I know, no.
