Hashing/index.adb

Post by wahaha »

1. When opening the hashing-dialog, something seems to access more drives than neccessary (e.g. floppy), although it only shows harddrives. IMO it's a good decision to only allow hdds, since CD/DVD might better be handled a bit special (no renaming, auto-eject for batch adding, no storing of index.adb), which is my feature request, btw ;).

2. I don't quite understand the use of the "Add to mylist"-checkbox. The file is physically there, so why should I not want to add it to the mylist :?

3. About the index.adb-links:
It's not really important, but the links would be real ed2k-links if they had the following format: ed2k://|file|filename|size|hash|/|crc,md5,...|/
(Currently it's file|filename|hash|size|crc|md5|)
It's a good idea to include the crc and md5, but for some kind of handling of file-changes (rare but possible), the filesystem's date of the last change might also be of interest.
Oh, and what about a version-tag for the .adb ;)

1 a) = don't include floppy cd in normal hashing dia ... should not be a prob will do.
1 b) = hmm batch adding of cd's ... should not be a prob either, cause
hashing still remains mostly the same but changes on the gui will take
some time ( if i can cope with that without too much hassle i'll include
that in this version )
2 if someone just wants to hash the files without adding them let him do
i could just check that button per default
3 the crc and md5 algorithm in hashing is atm disabled for speed
reasons i will activate them and alter the way the files are named
should not take much time ..

Thx for your comment

once you have everything on cd like i do it makes the client pretty useless at its current state (=
but well as u said u are going to fix it soon ^^
