folder-names-crc32-from-disk:

Post by NotNull »

Does folder-names-crc32-from-disk: (and similar functions) differ from

from-disk:folder-names-crc32:
or not-indexed:folder-names-crc32:

?

Yes.

You can index folder-names-crc32-from-disk (Tools -> Options -> Properties)

fromdisk:folder-names-crc32-from-disk would ignore your indexed properties and gather the information from disk.



I would like to keep both variants ( folder-names-crc32 and folder-names-crc32-from-disk ) as they are useful for comparing whats indexed and whats on disk.



-from-disk in folder-names-crc32-from-disk means gather the filenames from disk
from-disk: means ignore your indexed properties.
If you are not indexing properties, from-disk: does nothing as the information is always gathered from disk.
folder-names-crc32 (without -from-disk) means gather the filenames from your index.



I'm open to suggestions to improve the naming and reducing the number of functions/properties.
For example: Folder Names SHA-256 From Disk => Folder Disk Names SHA-256

I will consider hiding the -from-disk variants from the property categories in the UI as most users will not want these properties.
