Checking one or two files (other than a WHOLE set)

Post by Guest »

Is it possible to check only 1 or 2 files? There are times when a file or so is bad, and I only want to check that file instead of the whole 50-60 set. Sometimes it's a 100 file x 50mb rar set and that takes forever (5gb)...
Shell Extensions have been removed btw.

whenever i check files and ones corrupt, i red/l it and try again, it will skip all files except the corrupt one and recheck it.

If you have hkSFV set up to use cached results, it will remember the files that pass and while it will appear to check them, it will do so extremely quickly. Once it comes to any files that were formerly bad or absent, it will recheck them completely.

This setting effectively 'skips' all the previously checked files and will only recheck the files that have previously failed.

In the 'checking' preferences tab, your cache size may have been set to 0 (or a very small number).

Also, hkSFV saves its cached results when it exits, so if it crashes before you close hkSFV, the files you just checked won't be remembered.

I can't think of any other reason why hkSFV wouldn't be caching your previous checks, at the moment..

I tried all that. Increased it from 1mb to 2mb, and made sure 'use cached results' were on, and it didn't make much of a difference, I even I timed it. I guess it's my system.

What kind of operating system are you running?

Where did you install hkSFV (what is the full path to the directory)?

I'll see if I can reproduce this error..

Windows ME
c:\progra~1\hkSFV

like I said before, shells extensions/hkshlex.dll were manually removed. If that makes a difference.
