i wonder if that is possible in hdSFV (i havn't been able to find it out myself and was unable to find it in the faq)
here's what i want to do:
i have files on my hd, burn them down ,create an sfv on the hd for the files and check the files on the CD with that sfv...
is that somehow possible with dhSFV? always when i open an SFV file it only checks the files in the folder where its located and i see no option to select folder
thx for help..

You can really do this with hkSFV right now. I usually make the SFV before I burn, put it on the CD, then check them right on the CD afterwards.

I should add features to allow you to do this, though. For one, you could create an SFV from your CD files, and place the SFV somewhere else, then you could check the files on your hard disk with it. You could also "reparent" the SFV, so that you could have it on your hard drive, but use it to check files in another location (your CD).

I'll try to work on these ASAP, it shouldn't be too tricky.

A reparent feature needs to be included in a future release of hkSFV. The ability to create an .SFV of the files on a cd, place it on your hard drive, and then use hkSFV to check the files on the cd would be really handy :D.

The version of hkSFV in development has eliminated the CD related creation bugs so you can now make an .SFV on your hard drive of files on a CD. However, without the reparent feature, you can't use hkSFV to verify .SFVs of this nature :sad:.
