Any way to force retrieval of a property?

Post by dedupeit »

In my configuration, I have it set to get SHA-256 for a set of extensions (pictures, videos, etc). At times, I want to get the SHA-256 of the search result regardless of whether the files match the configured set of extensions. Is there a way to do that?

No.

One option is to fire up another instance with no sha256 property indexing.


Another option:
Selecting the file.
Right click the result list column header and click Add columns.
Type in:
sha256

Right click the property list column header and click Preview.

Thanks for the reply void!

I don't see the "Preview" option. I'm running 1.5.0.1384a.

It's in the Select Property Dialog.
Not the main window.

Oh I see. Since that's for a single file, it will make more sense in my use case to create another instance for this. Thanks!
