Rescan certain properties (for ex. SHA-256) for certain files

[tirael]

Good day! Your program is a great example of how to write programs =)
However, for me there are some small unclear moments, one of which I will write about below.

I added the "SHA-256" property for file scanning, then added folders (I also added drives C:, D:, ... as folders), and then ran the scan. As expected, getting SHA-256 hashes took quite a long time and took several days.

After the scan was finished, it turned out that for some files, for some reason, SHA-256 hashes were not obtained. I tried to do Rescan, but it did not help. The only thing that worked was when I moved the file to a new location and then ran Rescan. But this is a bad solution, because there are about several thousand files without hashes.

What can be done to forcefully update the SHA-256 property for some files - for example, for selected ones, or for those with an empty hash, or something like that?

As an example, I will provide a screenshot showing the absence of a SHA-236 hash for some files

Are the particular files "in use" (in the process of being generated)?

Are you using the Everything Service?

Might it be a permissions issue?
Length?
Unicode char?


But moving & rescan did work... ?

Select the files with missing sha256 values and press Ctrl + F5 to refresh the indexed property values.

My English is not very good, so I will answer briefly.

"in use" - no
using service - no, always launched the application manually (double click) with administrator rights
permissions issue - no, I use simple network folders (Linux Samba) without access restrictions
Length - file size from 0 bytes to 100 GB
Unicode char - paths to files and file names are different - somewhere only English words and numbers without spaces, somewhere with spaces, somewhere containing non-English characters (for example, French, Italian, Russian letters)
moving & rescan did work - yes, if I moved files to a new location and rescanned, then apparently it is perceived as a completely new item

It worked, just great! Thank you very much!
