Feature request: Suggestions for improvement and correction of some errors. #268
Description
OpenHashTab Release 3.1.1
The program is very convenient and extremely useful. I use it all the time and I’m very satisfied with it.
I would like to request a few improvements, if possible:
1. Name the hash file after the folder being processed, and store paths relative to that folder (without including its name)
For example, if the folder is BOOKS, the generated hash file should be named BOOKS instead of checksums, and the entries inside it should look like:
BOOK1\PAGE1
BOOK1\PAGE2
BOOK2\PAGE1
instead of:
BOOKS\BOOK1\PAGE1
BOOKS\BOOK1\PAGE2
BOOKS\BOOK2\PAGE1
This would make it possible to verify different folders simply by renaming the hash file, without needing to edit its contents.
2. Add the ability to export verification results to a report
The report should include status markers corresponding to the color coding:
Unknown, Match, Mismatch, Unsafe, Error.
3. Add a “File Size” field to the hash file
This would make verification and comparison more informative.
4. Add an option to show “extra” files during verification
Currently, the program shows files that are present in the hash file but missing from the folder (“missing”).
Please add the opposite mode too: files that exist in the folder but are not present in the hash file (“extra”).
5. Add an optional “Summary” section at the end of the report
The summary should include:
- Number of matching files and their total size
- Number of mismatching files and their total size
- Number of missing files and their total size
- Number of extra files and their total size
6. “Match” (green) coloring does not work for several hash types
The green color for “Match” is not displayed for the following hashes (while red for “Mismatch” works):
- CRC32
- CRC64
- XXH32
- XXH64
- XXH3-64
- XXH3-128
- MD4
- MD5
- eD2k
- eD2k (Old)
- QuickXorHash
