Change 10 000 duplicate file to reference files

[lslamp]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] I have scanned my hard drive and I have 21000 files that show as duplicates. Very many of these show the reference files being in many different directories. I have one source that I would always want to always be the reference file location. This should be z:\camera pictures{date}. This directory is the default location where my camera downloads all my photos to. So this should always show as the reference file.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. I would like to be able to change all the reference files to always be in the z:\camera pictures{date} This could be 1000 files or it could be 20000 files. Would be good to have some where you can select all duplicate files with the path camera pictures and then have all of these made the reference files.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. No alternative, I am currently selecting file by file and manually changing them to reference files.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. If you look at the screenshot, you will see multiple duplicate files are in the directory z:\camera pictures{date} There are some 10000 photos that were taken and that are now duplicates. I do not want to delete anything from the directory. So making a mass update to set all of them as the reference would be a great help.

If I select say 10 duplicate files and try to change all 10 to be reference files, only one is changed.
