I find that after doing a recovery, it's difficult to sort through some of the duplicates but I can easily control the length of the path.

If there was a selection choice that allowed you to choose all within groups except the shortest or longest path filename, it would make selecting them easier.

If czkawka always displays the shortest path first and the longest path last, then a 'select within groups all but first' and 'select within groups all but last' would work as well.

After some testing, it doesn't always work out that way

Indeed, sometimes longer filename which generated by system to avoid conflict is more accurately

An example is a bunch of random mismatched music files in:
/music

While the organized music is in:
/music/A Perfect Circle
/music/A Tribe Called Quest
/music/ABBA
/music/AC/DC
/music/AFI
/music/Aaron Carter
/music/Aaron Hall
/music/Aaron Tippin
/music/Ace of Base
/music/Adam Sandler
/music/Aerosmith

The random/unorganized ones would end up with the shortest path, not shortest filename, would end up being in /music
Then I could choose> select within groups, all but the longest path, or 1 with the shortest path

Or the opposite, where I would prefer to keep the ones in /music and not the ones in /music/subdirectory
Then I could choose> select within groups all but the shortest path, or 1 with the longest path.
