Recursively test archives / hashes in a folder

[vudu]

Hello,

I will try to describe the desired functionality this way:

In WinRAR's file manager, if you do "Test archived files" on a folder, it doesn't complain that the folder is not a valid archive file. Instead, it goes through the folder content recursively and tests all archives found.

Total Commander currently doesn't support it. Is it possible to add it in the next major version, both for "Test Archives" and "Verify Checksums"?

It doesn't have to be too smart, i.e. no need to analyze file header/format in order to apply a specific algorithm. It would be enough just to recognize files by extensions (zip/rar/7z etc for the archives, sfv/md5/sha/sha256 etc for checksums) and do the same as if I would have issued the command on each file separately.

Just use branch view for that folder (Ctrl+Shift+B), then place cursor on a RAR and press Alt+"+" to select all RARs to test.

Why is this needed? TC keeps all files selected which have an error. This cannot be done if the files aren't even visible because they are in subdirs.

Ok, thanks, this is also helpful.
