I want to find duplicates that have the same name, same size, and same file content (and relative path, too, which isn't an option here).

I don't want it wasting time comparing two files that don't have the same name.

I'd like to add a use case where this enhancement would be important - at least size+name: both size and name are likely to result in collisions in a large file set. I found two different 131+mb video files with exactly the same file size, for example (unlikely but, it turns out, possible). Had I been able to select both name and size I wouldn't have risked accidentally deleting a wanted record.

I'd argue hash is different - hash tests seem to imply an initial "size" check first.

Counting on files having the same name seems an edge case in that many bulk copy tools (such as EXIF-sorter) will automatically rename files to prevent accidental overwrite, which can result in large amounts of accumulated file lint.
