    3. Medium Match
      1. Not so safe. Some false matches
      2. To reduce false matches use a time difference of .96 or higher.

    2. This setting overrides the setting in DupFileManager_config.py.
      1. See setting significantTimeDiff in DupFileManager_config.py
    3. This setting is generally not useful for [Exact Match] reports.
    4. This is an important setting when creating Low or Medium match reports. It will reduce false matches.
  3. Report with tagging
    1. Reports with tagging will work with above DupFileManager Advance Menu.
    2. The report can take serveral minutes to complete.
    3. It takes much more time to produce a report with tagging compare to creating a report without tagging.
  4. Report WITHOUT tagging
    1. Reports with no tagging can NOT be used with above DupFileManager Advance Menu.
    2. The report is created much faster. It usually takes a few seconds to complete.
    3. This is the recommended report type to create if the DupFileManager Advance Menu is not needed or desired.
  5. Tag V.S. Flag
    1. A tag is part Stash scene attributes. Tags are stored in the Stash database.
      1. When a new DupFileManager report is created, it does NOT delete existing tags.
    2. A flag is only used in the reports created by DupFileManager.
      1. If a new report is created, ALL the flags are deleted!
      2. Flag Purpose
        1. Allow the user to review the DupFileManager report, and flag files for futher action or flag them as review complete.
      3. The DupFileManager report, has options that allows the user to perform the same action on all files with a selected color flag.
      4. The following flag group options are available.
        1. Delete all files with specified flag color.
        2. Copy all scene files to assosciated Duplicate-to-Keep file where Duplicate-to-Delete is flaged with specified flag color.
        3. Move all scene files to assosciated Duplicate-to-Keep file where Duplicate-to-Delete is flaged with specified flag color.
          1. A move operation also copies the metadata like tags, performers, and galleries.
          2. Note: Future versions of this program might also delete the Duplicate-to-Delete scene after successfully coping the file.
        4. Copy tags, performers, and galleries from Duplicate-to-Delete to associated Duplicate-to-Keep.
        5. Add exclude tag to all files with specified flag color.
  6. List
    1. DupFileManager supports 4 types of list that are configured in Stash=>Settings->Plugins->DupFileManager.
      1. Whitelist
        1. A list of protected paths.
        2. Videos under these paths are NOT to be deleted.
        3. E.g. C:\Favorite\,E:\MustKeep\
      2. Graylist
        1. A list of preferential paths.
        2. Videos under these paths are only designated for deletion if:
          1. Counter duplicate is in the whitelist.
          2. If the video quality is poor compare to blacklist duplicate.
        3. E.g. C:\2nd_Fav\,E:\ShouldKeep\
      3. Blacklist
        1. A list of least preferential paths.
        2. Videos under these paths are primary candidates for deletion.
        3. E.g. C:\Downloads\,E:\DeleteMeFirst\
      4. Pinklist
        1. The pinklist is NOT used at all when creating the Duplicate Report.
        2. The pinklist is only used in the Advance Menu.
          1. This gives the user additional manual deletion options.
          2. This option is similar to the Path field option.
    2. Whitelist is not available in the Advance Menu because the paths are designated as protected from deletion.
