What was the exact command with which you ran it? Apparently the directory has a file 'Some Video.mp4', which was not listed in an existing checksum file. I also noticed a problem recently which happens if you give dh a directory as argument which has no checksum file in it. Or something like it, I can’t reproduce it from memory right now. I have been doing some refactoring recently in order to get one-file-per-tree mode working. > I was doing a second run because I updated some files.

If you only changed a few files, using the -u option will drastically increase speed because only the changed files will be read. Use the -d option to clean up dangling entries from checksum files. > Also, what is the best way to handle this type of situation. Let's say > I have a set of videos.

If you changed a file, then its modification timestamp will get udpated. When dh runs in -u mode and it finds a file whose timestamp is newer than its associated checksum file, that means the file may have been altered since the creation of that checksum. So dh will re-hash the file and replace the checksum in the checksum file. > I'm sometimes pretty good at finding software bugs. But hey, it just > makes your software better. ;-) Me too, usually. If it’s not my software, anyways. ^^ But I think you may be the first other of that tool other than me. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Someone who eats oats for 200 years becomes very old.
