I want to add a CRC-32 column but limit file size

[ericgl]

Hi David / Void,

I'd really like to use the CRC-32 column. It helps a lot to make sure that similar files are actually exact same or different.
However, with larger files the hash calculation takes a long time and a heavy toll on spinning hard-drives.
Could you please add a configurable setting to calculate CRC-32 (and CRC-64) hashes up to a certain file size?

Thanks.

1.5x adds a property system to index the property for future use.
That very same system has a max file size. You are asking for what already exists

What do you mean "already exists"? How do I actually set a limit for CRC-32 hash calculation based on file size??

By adding it in the property section.
Surely you've touched the Options window at least some times and seen the Properties section?

You can prevent files outside of that from loading by excluding sizes above in your duplicates searches.
If file size is max 1MB, size:=<1MB to get rid of any files in searching.
Though I think there is a way to disable loading properties that aren't indexed even if the column is visible..If so I don't remember how.

I see what you mean:

I'm testing right now...
