Confirmation after archive testing

vudu · Post by *vudu » 2013-05-11, 08:20 UTC

This is obviosly not so important "feature", but nevertheless I think it can improve user experience.

When you do the compressed archive test (Shift + Alt + F9), it pops up a message box only if the archive is damaged. But, I think it should also inform the user if everything goes well at the end (of course, with MB_ICONINFORMATION icon, not with error/exclamation).

Because sometimes when I'm very tired at work, I can "forget" if I actually have issued a command or not, if there's no explicit feedback from the program

I think it's a good idea. For small archives the progress window just blinks and then is gone.

I think checksum check window may be adopted for archives testing. It already supports background operation mode and may show statistics for good/bad/unknown archives.

Support++. I have always missed this feedback.

Hmm, I would find it very annoying if I had to remove a dialog "Everything is OK" after each Alt+Shift+F9...

I also support this improvement. I often have exactly the same problem as vudu.

Then make it configurable...

Would it be a good idea to make Test Archive(s) behave the same way as Verify Checksums?

I also think that Alt-Shift-F9 should behave the same way as verify checksums. Verify checksum window should keep size and position, it's annoying to move it each time it's used.

It would be nice that Create Checksum would be treated as any other archiver (ZIP, RAR, etc..) so as to create one checksum per directory (feature I really need). MOVE should be disabled.

You can select one or more folder and execute cm_CRCcreate, it will create only one md5 file contains checsum of all files in the selected folder(s) and sub-folders.

Move what?

I suggested a confirmation dialog like crc testing feature has it today here (german forum)
