7 years ago Oh, share scanner in AirDC++ was one of the first real application features that I've ever developed. That feature is old and well tested but it shouldn't really be part of the core application so I'd like to move all the validation functionality into this extension and make things more modular (just look at the actual validation function: https://github.com/airdcpp/airgit/blob/master/airdcpp/airdcpp/modules/ShareScannerManager.cpp#L331-L578).
Auto download of missing files is certainly a popular request. One way to allow that would be to make it possible for extensions to communicate with each others, so that you could have another extension listening for "directory scan failed" events from this extension and performing actions based on them. My plan is to keep this extension focused on the directory content structure validation and let other extensions handle dupe checks, CRC validations and other features (those are quite obvious starting points for extension development as well).
I'll post an update once extension support has been enabled in the develop branch as you can't do much before that.

I have been working with a friend on a couple of scripts for sfv and dupes checking.
Take a look... https://github.com/KipourosV/MusicTools Fairly simple python scripts.
For the SFV check part, my idea goes like this: There are 4 states for the release(folder).
First argument is the root path that will be recursively scanned. When you run the script with no second argument, it just reports the subfolders(releases) state.
Second argument is the state that you want checked. When you run the script with second argument (for example new) the script sfv checks all the folders that are "new", then writes a state file in each checked directory, 0byte size and named after the resulting state.
The second script recursivelly parses the given folder and does a fuzzy search on the folder names in an attempt to locate from exact duplicates to similar release names (ex. from different groups). It also has a similarity ratio that you can tweak.
The idea behind all this is to automate: 1) mass (auto)-redownloading incomplete releases 2) mass deleting garbage folders 3) compare releases from different groups (and keep the best quality rls based on size) 4) (auto)cleaning the share of duplicates 5) being able to initiate a targeted sfv recheck
I would really like to help out with this extension in any way I can. I need some guidance, I m not advanced in programming but I learn quickly.
How do I work with your code here? Where do I need to place what in order to start looking at how the extension works and what it does?
