Is there a way to only show single(non-matched) files on one side instead of blank spaces.

I am comparing 2 folders with like 30TB of data and I need to know what files are unique/single/non-matched on one side.

Currently it seem like the software will just leave it blank if there is no matching files however trying to scroll down the blank space on that many files is a impossible task.

Is there a way to filter the results to only show the single/unique/non-matching files on one side without the blank space if there is no corresponding items on one side?

Thanks

The characteristic of single/unique/non-matching files on one side is that there is no matching file at the other side. Thus, in the Compare results the other side is then blank (or shows the identically named opposite file with a mismatch in file size and/or date or contents), and in between the proposed sync action.

You can toggle the visibility of different categories of Compare results and associated proposed sync actions via the icons mid below the left and right Compare results (#11 in the Main Dialog Overview)
After running a Compare, you will only see icons for populated categories.

I am able to only show the differences on the left with miles and miles of blank spaces while showing the items that are present on the right.

Is there a way to ONLY show these files on left without showing items that are only the right?

I am looking to turn 30TB of files into something that I can actually scroll into and just have a short list of different items. I can upload some screenshots if that might help show my issue?

You must be using 'two-way' syncing. Maybe 'update' sync method is better?

I'm not really trying to sync rather look for duplicate files vs single files. So its primarily a comparison I'm after.

Everything, viewtopic.php?t=12620#p48954.

I throw it two directories & tell it to find UNIQUE & it comes up with "xxx".

You should use a duplicate finding program instead, then.
