[QUOTE="lwerndly, post: 355260, member: 64817"] I'll add another option to the scan so that you can do a full scan, or just do a scan where you don't currently have any information yet. So basically scan only the information that appears in the list to the right. Yeah the main purpose for this is when you move files around, or rename them. The database has an entry for every file on your list. When you move a file, you end up with multiple entries in the database, which eventually starts to slow things down. This function just deletes the database information for any files that no longer exist. The web service tries to find a match in the following order 1. filename, username and file size. (your own previously submitted info) 2. filename and file size. (other users previously submitted info) 3. CRC match (coming soon) So if you rename a file, it will not be found by the first two methods. It may be found in the CRC method if the CRC has not been removed from the file name. Otherwise the file will need to be hashed again. [/QUOTE]
