I knew about md5deep when I started with my own tool (as can be read in the readme ;-) ). But md5deep used one single md5 file at a tree’s root, whereas I wanted one file per directory in a tree. The reason being that I wanted to be able to copy individual directories and still check their hashes without editing checksum files. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
