When I've made a checksum (MD5) for some files, and then burned them to CD, I want to verify the CD with the help of the checksum file safed on the CD.
Since I created the checksum on HD before burning, hkSFV has cached the results for those filenames.
I'd like a shell-extension option where one could "re-check" the checksums. Ie; bypass the cache.

Underneath the "Tools" menu in hkSFV, there is a checkbox for "Use Cached Results". You can check it or uncheck it at anytime and it takes effect immediately.
When I want to check files that I've burnt onto a CD, I just uncheck this setting and then check the files. Is this what you're looking for?

Ok, thanks Well I still think it would be neat to have there, a "Re-evaluate checksums" option or something
Either that, or a cache-function that checks on which drives the checksums were made. If the drive where the *.sfv/*.md5 is executed from differs from the one stored in the cache-db, there could be a pop-up question saying something like

"There are cached results from this checksum file, but the last verification was done on another drive, do you want to re-check the files?"
