Keep Hash table of directory in the directory for future reference? #1161

Open FitzM opened 9 months ago

FitzM commented 9 months ago

I have a couple of directories that I use as the reference folder. Instead of re-hashing the directory to find duplicate files, could the tool possible save a JSON file of the hashed values and files? There could be a hash for the entire directory as well so the tool can look and see if the hash has changed, the reference folder needs to be re checked.

Second this. This can be useful for backup purposes too. For example, I can scan an external HDD, then keep the hash and later when I want to check if I already downloaded something, I can just run the files against the hashes instead of having to connect the drive.
