Unexpected behavior of Checksum creation feature +Suggestion

Post by *orlincho »

Hello,

I've tried to generate indipendant checksums of few files but generator generated just one.

Problem seems in that all files has same name but different extensions. so checksum file has same name and TC asked me to overwrite it for all files except first one.

May be it is appropriate to take full file name (with extension) and then add .MD5 or .CRC to checksum file.


Thank you

P.S. TC I'm using is 6.52

Welcome aboard.

When you check the 'Create separate SFV-Files' then the proposed filename changes to e.g.

Code: Select all

c:\backup\*.sfv
You have simply to add another ".*" to achieve that the extension is also taken into account for generating the CRC-Filename:

Code: Select all

c:\backup\*.*.sfv
It is the way how TC handles those wildcards - you simply have to know it.
