check the integrity of the rar's then create the sfv

It would be nice if, upon scanning directories and finding a folder full of rar's and no sfv file, it would, optionally, check the integrity of the rar's then create the sfv. That would be SO cool. Nice program btw.

i thought you needed an sfv to check that? or do you mean itll see if the file within the rars is extractable without error and if so, it makes a sfv for it?

Would be possible with RARLab's free unrar.dll I guess... But personally, I really don't see the reason why a third party application should mime the functions already existing in WinRAR? ;)

I think that what he is asking for, is to have hkSFV create SFV's for folders where there are none, while checking -- insuring that each of his folders has an SFV, and also that the files match the SFV, in one click.

A step that both checks SFVs and creates them would probably be confusing to most users, but it might be valuable to have something an option for recursive creation that only creates an SFV for each directory if there is not already one.
