I have a ton (many thousands) of files that need to be organized and deduped. In the past I made due with Beyond Compare 4 and Agent Ransack (free fast desktop file search utility for Windows) but I'm going to need some fancy logic for this, and speed is important, and I'm thinking QB64PE might be a good platform.
Has anyone used QB64PE to do any of these (preferably natively)?
All those are things I'm going to need to do, but haven't done much of in the past in QB64PE, and examples would be most helpful.
PS I have considered shelling out to Beyond Compare / Agent Ransack, but if this can be done natively in QB64PE with comparable performance, I'd prefer doing it natively in QB64PE, not only because it simplifies & reduces dependencies, but all these will come in handy for future QB64PE utilities.
Any examples, links, info, much appreciated...

- recursively search subfolders
- compare filenames (matching strings with * ? wildcards)
- retrieve & compare two files' size in bytes
- retrieve & compare two files' modified dates
- binary compare file contents
- rename / move / copy / delete files
- create folders
- rename folders
- retrieve & compare folder names
- update a file's modified date to x
