Ignore duplicates unless they're in the same sub-folder #1256

Case scenario: I have a folder with a lot of sub-folders (for categorising images by subject or theme). I need to periodically check it for duplicates within the sub-folder. Selecting the main folder means that a picture with Person A and Theme B, placed into two respective folders, counts as a duplicate.

Currently, I have to manually scan each sub-folder separately, which takes a lot of time (I have to remove and add every folder one by one and rescan). Ideally, I'd like to check a box and be able to scan the entire folder, with duplicates only being counted if they're in the same sub-folder (e.g. if a picture appears once in Person A, but twice in Person B, Czkawka will only display the duplicate in the Person B folder)
