TrIDScan's ability to generate file signatures is somewhat limited by the fact that all files must be in the same directory in order to properly scan. In some cases this is impractical.

There are many situations where there are multiple directories, each of which contain a few files (none of the same format) but together contain many files of the same format. Here's an example of that:

C:\....\Maps\Map0001\map.def
C:\....\Maps\Map0001\map.tex
C:\....\Maps\Map0001\map.obj
C:\....\Maps\Map0002\map.def
C:\....\Maps\Map0002\map.tex
C:\....\Maps\Map0002\map.obj
C:\....\Maps\Map0003\map.def
C:\....\Maps\Map0003\map.tex
C:\....\Maps\Map0003\map.obj


As you can see, running tridscan on any single directory would be useless.

What I'm proposing is a feature to allow tridscan to have a file list passed to it, most likely generated from a command such as "dir /s /b <path>". This would allow cross-directory file analysis and make tridscan a much easier tool to work with.

Hi!

Will add that to the wishes / requests list for a next version.
Thanks,
