Duplicate library parts

I've just loaded V14 and organized and reinstalled all the libraries I used. I have ended up with duplicate objects in a library. When I open a file I get the library loading report telling me about the duplicates and that there are 2 of them (not sure if that means 2 in the library or just 2 that are used in the project). Why doesn't it tell me what the duplicate are? Its really hard to find duplicates by just randomly searching through the folders and I have tried duplicate file finder software without success also. How can I track these down?

The dupes should be listed in the report. Click the little triangles.

All I get in the library manager window is a drop down box for properties that says number of duplicates (2) and number of placed duplicates (0) etc. No actual names of objects.

In 14 there is now a little "i" button for information.
Once you press that you will see a little trianle button that will let you list all duplicates or placed duplicates and a couple of other options.

Personally I still like the way it worked in version 12.

Cool. Thanks for that. I didn't notice that before. Problem solved.
