congratulations on the new release epoximator! i don't see an avdump category on the bugtracker, so i this ended up posting this here.
i just tried out the new -done switch, and am happy to say it works as intended, but:
-it didn't seem to get added to the usage table on the wiki
-the CLI's help listing doesn't say it can take quotes (-done:"c:\program files\blah blah.txt" or such) or whether they're needed
-the files are added with the path (i.e. c:\anime\file.avi). i'm not sure if that's intended or not, but the result is if you move the file to a different folder it will still hash it again. i can see it being useful in a way (for example if you download a file, send it to avdump, then burn it to cd, and sometime later want to check it to make sure it matches), so i just wanted to know what your thoughts were on this.
also, i have the same question about -e (generate ed2k link). i don't use ed2k much so i'm not well versed on the formatting, but i don't see how putting the local path to a file in a network link would work. i've taken to using avdump's hashing instead of hashcalc (so that i don't have to assemble the ed2k link by hand, yay!), but i just wondered how anidb handles this when you're adding a new file - does it remove/ignore the path? i've been removing it manually (because i hate having to enter all the file info again) so i've never seen what happens.

It's a wiki. Add it yourself =)sarelc wrote:-it didn't seem to get added to the usage table on the wiki
The filename/path basically doesn't matter one whit with ed2k-links in the DB, except the extension. And I also agree: it is annoying that the entire path is in there as that makes it harder to copy/paste the link into correct fields when adding files because of the linebreaks.sarelc wrote:also, i have the same question about -e (generate ed2k link). i don't use ed2k much so i'm not well versed on the formatting, but i don't see how putting the local path to a file in a network link would work. i've taken to using avdump's hashing instead of hashcalc (so that i don't have to assemble the ed2k link by hand, yay!), but i just wondered how anidb handles this when you're adding a new file - does it remove/ignore the path? i've been removing it manually (because i hate having to enter all the file info again) so i've never seen what happens.

Re: avdump 0.30 bugs
it's intended. the option was not added to make a ever lasting db of all the files you got, but to make it possible to continue after a crash (or abort/whatever). so, in other words, a short term list; full path seemed more appropriate for that.sarelc wrote:-the files are added with the path (i.e. c:\anime\file.avi). i'm not sure if that's intended or not, but the result is if you move the file to a different folder it will still hash it again. i can see it being useful in a way (for example if you download a file, send it to avdump, then burn it to cd, and sometime later want to check it to make sure it matches), so i just wanted to know what your thoughts were on this.
-done:"full path here" and "-done:full path" are both working, although not intended, just magically
if you're saying that it gives you full path in ed2k links (ed2k://|file|c:\a\b.c|...), then it's a bug. i can't reproduce it
@suppy, i know it is (a wiki), but it wouldn't do much good if i added it, with only a vague idea what the usage is. which ironically is because it's not in the usage chart, heh.
and as for the path in the ed2k link, you're right, it's gone. i was sure it was still doing it after updating to .30 but it seems i am crazy. so thanks for fixing that.
ah, that makes sense. i had a different usage in mind, where if you had several folders of files (original dl location, completed dl location, interim storage, overflow, etc.. yeah, i need more drive space :) and wanted to make sure they're all verbatim, it would skip the ones that avdump had already checked, such as files you added to anidb.Epoximator wrote:to make it possible to continue after a crash [...] full path seemed more appropriate for that.
