Hello everyone, I wasn't able to find a way to do something I needed so I had to create account to ask.
I will try to explain it as best as I can.
What I want to do now it select those duplicates from the left view, in right view, so I could remove them from view (but not delete the files).
In essence, I just want to remove the very same (same file path) files that appear multiple times. I should be able to filter it further on my own.
So I need either some way to select files based on a list, copy the selection to other view or some other way to do it.
Thanks for reading.

- I have a folder with multiple subfolders and thousands of files.
- Did the initial search for files with partial name matches (*part_name* on each line) in filelist.text and fed that into Search in: @filelist.txt.
- The complete results are fed into listbox.
- Both views (left and right) are the same like that (did the same search twice, once in both views).
- Then on the left view, did another search, advanced > find duplicate files (as the results above contained same files multiple times)
- Then numpad+ to leave at least one file in each group unselected.
- Now on the left I have all the duplicates selected, and on the right the original list of all found files.
