The Checksum files frame
The Checksum file frame is used to import previously generated CloneSpy checksum files. The data of a checksum file can be compared to files on your hard drives. Please refer to the Pool frames on how to generate a checksum file.
The button Clear list will remove all checksum files added to the list box. If you select the Add CSC-file button, a dialog box appears and allows you to choose one or more checksum files. The selectedfile(s) will be added to the list box. Another
way to add checksum files to the list box is to "drag" them from the
Windows Explorer and "drop" them directly on the list box. However, if
you run CloneSpy with elevated permissions, then you also have to run
the Windows Explorer with administrator rights.
If you want to view a CSC-file, double click on it after inserting it in the list box or press the View CSC button. Another way of viewing a CSC-file is to select the item View CSC-File in the file menu of the Main window. How the contents of the selected CloneSpy checksum file are displayed is explained in the description of the View CSC-file window.
If you want to compare checksum files to files on your hard drives, you have to choose one of the last two options in the Mode frame. Drives and folders you want to scan have to be added to the pool in the corresponding Pool frame. Deletion of files will only be possible if the files originate from Pool 1 or Pool 2, respectively, but not if they come from the CSC-file.
