| 264 The image Dimensions column of the result list will only contain dimension information when comparing by dimensions, or when the data is easily available from memory or has been read from the cache. | |

| 267 Status bar | |
| 268 </title> | |
| 269 <para> | |
| 270 Along the bottom of the Find Duplicates window is an area that displays the count of files contained in the window, and the number of files in the result list. | |
| 271 </para> | |
| 272 <para> | |
| 273 The status bar will also display the status of an active compare operation using the progress bar. A compare operation involves 2 or 3 stages, depending on the type of comparison. These are the stages in order: | |
| 274 </para> | |
| 275 <para> | |
| 276 1) If necessary, extra data is read into memory for the comparison stage, the progress bar will indicate this stage with text that resembles “reading dimensions...”, “reading checksums...”, or “reading similarity data...”.<?db2html element="br"?> | |
| 277 2) The images are compared using the selected method, the progress bar will indicate this stage with the text “comparing...”.<?db2html element="br"?> | |
| 278 3) The results are sorted for display, the progress bar will indicate this stage with the text “sorting...”. | |
| 279 </para> | |
| 280 <para> | |
| 281 Stage 1 is only used for the Dimensions, Checksum, and Similarity compare methods. | |
| 282 </para> | |
| 283 <para> | |
| 284 If the time to complete a stage will be significant, an estimated time to completion will also be displayed in the progress bar. The estimated time only refers to the current stage, other stages are not included in the estimate. The time estimate is displayed using the format MINUTES:SECONDS. | |

| 296 Sometimes it is useful to compare one group of files to another, different group of files. Enable this check box to compare two groups of files. When enabled a second list will appear, files can be added to this list using the same methods for the main list. | |
| 297 </para> | |
| 298 <para> | |
| 299 When comparing two file sets the results list will display matches between the two lists. For each match group, the first file is always from the main group, and the remaining files are always from the second group. | |
