Hey!

I love doing those small apps noone seems to have done Smile

Anyway, been doing (among others) this small app that just checks for a .sfv file. If found, it checks if the files in there exists on hd aswell, if not they are shown in a list.

Quite usefull sometimes Smile
Atm it doesnt actually check the crc32 of the file and compare to the one in .sfv, but that is a matter of codingtime Smile

Anyone interested?

And yea, its made in java, so it works everywhere! (thats my philosify making apps btw) Actually got an installer for Linux/Mac/Windows (with bundled JVM, to make it easier and also, the JVM is "internal" to the app, so no possible collisions and/or fuckups with other JVMs! (hopefully) With all this its just as easy as any other Windows installer! (could be nice for ppl with less knowledge about how to make things work with java classes!)

What are you saying? Sorry I must be very slow today Embarassed

Are you saying you have made an SFV Checker and it's something nobody has done before? Confused Because obviously a quick google shows differently. Like I say, I must be slow today...

Lol, this forum is apparently not the right place for such...

Ok, lets move back a few IQ's:

We have a harddrive in a PC. This harddrive have a filesystem. On this filesystem we have a few files (in a structure depending on the filesystem on the hd). Among these files there may be a socalled .sfv file which contains comments, a filename and a crc32 code (in hex or whatever) for some particular files. Now, the idea with this is to make transferchecking fast and reliable, so u can know if the file is the same as the original.

In my app u select.. say.. partition with letter F: (Windows thinking). Klick a button and the app does and I quote myself:

Quote:

" this small app that just checks for a .sfv file. If found, it checks if the files in there exists on hd aswell, if not they are shown in a list."


Meaning, if a .sfv file is found, that .sfv file is examined where as the info given by this .sfv file is used by my app to check the hd for same information (just the file, and not the crc32 number at the moment). If a file mentioned in the .sfv file is not found on the hd, this file will then be put in a list inside my app to be displayable for the user using my app in question.

This is done recursivly, meaning its gonna go trough all SUBdirs on this F: parition that was selected in this example just given.


Natrually, I wouldnt come up with this idea and suretenly not do this type of thing in the first place, IF THERE DID NOT EXIST SUCH APP in the first place!!! Besides, what the hell is the meaning of a .sfv file if its not used by a checking app!!!!!!!! Hallo? Earth to Mr. Enlightened! I just said also that it DOES NOT check the crc32 yet! (because there exists such things already!! I didnt implement that yet)

Yes, I know about http://www.tomdownload.com/new_add/new20031225/acsv.htm

but:
#1. Not freeware
#2. Only for windows (?)
#3. Cant check just if the file mentioned in the .sfv is on hd (have to do a crc32 check aswell) = SLOW! (but accurate, yes)

hkSFV does what you need, its recursive, it has a shell menu, it checks the hashes (with a db that stops it from checking already checked files) and its free.

Nice, but here u _have to_ scan the files Smile Besides, how do u work with the db? How to edit it?

Dont mind him, as he's an idiot.

I think the point being missed by all is its a project to do as a programmer. Good luck Ace, hope it ends up cool... Smile
