That's it, thanks.
And Yes, it did go on to analyse all tracks, not just those in the Collection.

Would you care to explain your reasoning?
Why would I start a scan from the FilesToEdit node, within a Collection, if I didn't want to scan just the Collection?
If I wanted to scan the whole library, I would run it from EntireLibrary.

If I run a DuplicateTitles or DuplicateTilesArtists scan from with a Collection, the scan is confined by that Collection.
Why is DuplicateContent any different?

The other reason is because the setup time for a DuplicateContent scan is very significant. Maybe I don't want to thrash my NAS just to scan a collection on my computer. Or maybe I am just scanning music, and don't want to scan other media files.

??

Why would you add a column. just constrain the scan to the collection. Just do it exactly the same as every other task in the FilesToEdit node.

Hi,
I do not see the point of duplicate if it si limited to collection as it will make high level of not listing duplicates.

steps:
  • create a small collection
  • open FilesToEdit>DuplicateContent node in that collection
  • ==> it wants to process all tracks in the whole database ... other nodes don't work like this
