Run count is being reset after file name change

Post by user123 »

Suggestion would be to store "Run count" counts based on file's hash (MD5..) or something that is not dependent on file's location or file name. I think this would probably slow things down but there could be an option to switch between Run count checking via file name (default) or via file hash.

I will consider an option to track run count by sha/md5.
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, Everything tracks run count by filename.

Thanks, it's a very useful feature.
FYI My run history file is around 46 MB now (without time limit) and currently it isn't slowing down anything. Using the latest 1.5 version.

Also I checked the csv and there is a full file path not just filename. Recently changed a system account with different username and all run counts were gone because it reads the full path, so I had to replace manually a lot to get back previous run counts.
