SFV status display inaccurate
« on: September 23, 2017, 10:30:00 »
Noticed a strange status output error using the sfv checker on W7x64 MC 7.5 b2381

With a multi-part part fileset MC shows 3 files failed asks del/ren/ignore, but then lists 4 items to del.  4 items are shown as failed when looking at the processed item list.
I tried with 1, 2 & 4 bad parts & so far only with more than 2 bad files does this inaccuracy in counter display occur:-
1 bad file shows 1 failed;
2 bad files shows 2 failed;
3 bad files shows 2 failed;
3 bad files shows 5 failed
4 bad files shows 3 failed.

Number of items to process (in dialog for del etc) is always correct tho.

If I delete bad parts I see MC hang completion status @ 90+%.  It has finished the routine, showing files missing & is ready to rescan.
Just an odd output under the status column.   ???


Thanks for all the work you do on MC, couldn't live without it now :D

Ehh I don't really understand. MultiPart Part fileset ?

Strange. I get the correct number of files.. it is not that some of the error was because files was missing ?

@AlanJB .sfv -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_file_verification

Sorry Mathias somehow I put 'part' twice... should have been Multi-Part fileset I have my own faulty output display!!!

This was a set of .rars with an SFV for integrity checking. 
I have played around deleting & adding files & MC checks the CRC correctly giving same results as winrar but not on the status column output.  The displayed status varies a lot when more than 2 faulty CRCs are found.
Results are different with damaged or missing files.

See attached - I cannot see how the counts compare to the outputs.

I'm not able to reproduce it.

Can you describe how one can recreated it?

I had a couple of rar sets that I tested using sfv that had been produced for the sets.
I had some corrupt rar segments but could substitute any blank file with a name change to get errors. 

However I just wiped my OS as I had an ongoing (unfixable) issue with IE 11 &  WinUpdates.  So as I hadn't had a clean install for 3+yrs thought that I'd re-install & change things...
So now things are a bit smoother & the Winupdates are working correctly again.  Hopefully any little corruptions will now be avoided & I'll be certain it isn't only M$ related nonsense.


I deleted the old rar-sets so can't re-check but have found a different 'error'  - nothing I do will make MDV hold it's settings/config.  (This may need it own thread...)

I set it to dark theme, & I set a new profile to use that but either way when I reopen it it has gone back to default. 
If I apply the settings with multiple files open I pageup/down & the other files open as default not as the dark theme I just applied :(  Restarting MC makes no difference.

I had this feature working globally before so am confused.  :-\

Also I noticed that throughout MDV there is a typo - Stripes is entered as 'strips' - not quite the same thing ;)
