heh... Don't get hit by a truck and you won't need to go to hospital Just want to get some answers before moving on: - Is it possible to make the improvement this thread is about? - If yes - are the benefits of such improvement so minor that aren't even worth the effort?

Emm.. Since this is the "Feature Requests" part of the forum i think ppl here aren't happy enough with what they have :stuart: And about your comment A_Alias: I'm sure there are many files with same names in shares. It was just a simple example. My point was - someone should make some algorithm to prevent unneeded rehashing.
-
Why should it? There's no calculating involved just writing additional data to some file. Think about how filesystem handles files: it doesnt actually move your files(unless they need to be) - just changes table indexes which assing them to some dir - It doesnt take time at all :)
-
The simplest this i could think of make a hash list that would look something like this: filename - size - creation/modification dates - TTH Every time rechecking occurs just check if the file wasn't moddified and if it wasn't - use hash from list. P.S. it would be nice to have a Force rehash button for files/dirs.
-
I'm just curious is it possible to make some simple-check for already hashed. Doing a full file hash all the time is way too much & I dont think is a good idea. I bet you dont ask your mom for ID and blood sample each day just to tell it's her xD And about file getting corrupt - it can get damaged AFTER ApexDC++ hashes it and wham! - your sharing a bogus file not even knowing about it.
-
I want to know is it possible to make Apex to be a litlle smarter when handaling hashed files. What I mean is now hashes are 'tied' to place where the file is located. So if I move some already-hashed file to other dir it gets rehashed again. WHY? It's the same file, same size, etc.. I thought check sum is to identify the file, NOT it's place. One example i can think of is seeding torrents. I can seed my torrents from anywhere on my drive without rechecking.
