| TurboSFV v9.60 - Recursive scan mode |
Notes to TurboSFV v9.60:
The new version provides options for specifying the way, how TurboSFV walks the folder tree, if it calculates checksums for files located in an entire tree.
Up to now, the GUI version calculates a checksum, if the operating system delivers a file or investigates a sub folder, if the delivered object represents a directory. Checksums for files are written to the hash file exactly in the same
order. The disadvantage here is, that files located in the same folder are not grouped together in the checksum file: If you want to manually analyze the checksum file, then it would be much easier, if files are grouped
together.
TurboSFV now provides two additional options: By selecting 'folders first', TurboSFV walks the directory tree until there is no more sub folder, and then calculates checksums for files in that folder. By selecting 'files first', TurboSFV
calculates first checksums for files in a given folder, and then it does the same in sub folders. In both cases, the file order in the checksum file will be different.
For the command-line version, mode 'folders first' was already the default. This has to do with the fact, that a possible file mask, which you can specify as a search argument, had to be considered. This isn't the case in the GUI version,
thus there is an additional mode. By using the new /Y switch, it's now possible to select 'files
first'.
Between, for all modes the reverse sort order is still available, so that in the checksum file, the last file will be the first listed one.
