Feature requests: 0 size delta checkbox, more columns (referenced folder, create date)

Feature Requests

Some usability could be extended by allowing more extensibility to the filtering with a workflow in mind. I thought I'd describe mine with some thoughts in hopes that it's helpful.

If I want to start right off the bat with matches that are exactly the same, I'm going to want the size difference to be 0 for my easy win's in a workflow. same name same size files with same exif date are almost never false positive.
I always start by checking delta, sorting by size, selecting, and removing all the results that are non zero.

It would be MUCH easier if I could check a box to only show matching size.

Picture searches based on exif timestamp would also benefit from same name/size checkboxes. I could then start with my easy wins, finish off that list, then uncheck the filtering checkboxes to continue working the list. It also would mean the details pop would display thumbnails vs just doing a filename search since thumbnails appear by search type, not file type.

After I do that, I might sort by folder to carve out other false positives or specific folders I want to pull from. I have to click each item to see the details of the 2 folders in the dupe pair. This would be a lot easier when hiding the dupe and showing an extra column on a widescreen monitor.
Bonus points if the column name trimming took column width into account (currently, it trims very short unless the full string fits)

Also, would be handy if it automatically ignored desktop.ini and thumbs.db in the results list, considered folders with them as already empty.

This is an amazing and useful program that works so well already. I really appreciate all that's been done. I hope this is useful, thanks so much! If you want me to split ideas to multiple threads, let me know :-)

This will be fixed in an upcoming patch.

That should be easy to do, I'll look into implementing a passlist / blocklist feature for that.

Just realized this actually has several features in one... hmm I'll probably have to split these up so we can track them better.

This has been addressed in #705.
