Ability to drop additional files to list #190

Closed poke closed 10 months ago

poke commented 10 months ago

I often have the situation that I want to compare two files that are in different directories, e.g. to check whether they are the same. Currently, I need to drag & drop them at the same time into RapidCRC which means that I need to have them in the same folder in Windows, so that I can have a single selection for both files that I then drag & drop to the RapidCRC window. Right now I often solve this by opening multiple instances of RapidCRC so that I can compare both sides.

I would really appreciate a way to “add” files to the current file list. That way, you could start by dropping some files into the window (starting the hashing of these files), and then add other files afterwards without clearing the file buffer.

There already is a context-menu for dropping items, so I could imagine that this could be added there:

Suggestion “Add as additional files”

If you give me some guidance on where to look, I would also be willing to contribute this feature :)

If you enable the job queue in the Settings, newly dropped files will be added as new jobs in the list.

Ohhh, I didn’t know that was a thing! The grouping might be too limiting for me since you cannot sort across different job groups, but I will give it a try! Thanks!
