I'd love to have the ability to compare files by more that just their names i.e. date created / modified, file size, etc.

Thanks so much for the prompt response, all working beautifully now really grateful 

Hopefully this will be the correct group to help with my problem. I want to be able to configure one of the buttons to view file properties ( the same as right mouse click on the file - properties) which then brings up the file properties box but I can't find a way of achieving it any help would be appreciated.   

Thanks for the response Mathias I really love the program but not being able to compare files for duplication by optional parameters such as date or file size leaves me cold. 

There's a glaring omission in that currently there's no way to compare files other than by name. I'd like to be able to select / highlight files with the same name but that differ by either file size and or modified date.

Unbelievable so it doesn't compare files at all it just checks for duplicate names!!!!

It may seem a silly question but just what criteria does compare file use? I've two identically named files one with a modified date of ‎26 ‎April ‎2014, ‏‎18:33:45 and with a file size of 724,034,560 bytes the other with with a modified date of ‎‎16 ‎May ‎2014, ‏‎10:51:42 and with a file size of 744,604,672 bytes but when I do a "compare folders select duplicates" these along other files with duplicated names but differing dates and file size are are highlighted as being duplicates I can't believe it's just comparing the file name or have I missed something blindingly obvious??
