Hi,

>> First, show in your search result list which files you are already having in your shared file list. This is done by the SHA1 hash code of the file. Because the hash code is only generated for shared files, it would not be possible to also check it against files in your download folder. <<

All my downloadfolders are shared folders, so this should work.
This is good news.

>> This feature is already on the TODO list and will be implemented soon. <<

Ok, more good news

>> Second, give a warning if you already have a file with the same name in your download destination folder. This would be as a information only,<<

here it would be nice to say Phex to skip this file for downloading

>> because you can be sure that Phex would never overwrite any files. Anything else would be a BUG.
I checked the source and if you already have a file with the name 'myFilename' Phex should create a new file called '(2)myFilename' <<

So this is not realy what I'm thinking of. If Phex is working this way I'll have already 'myFile' and get (2)myFile and ..... (x)myFile. Or didn't I get this right ??
What happend if I say Phex not to rename files ?? Will it overwrite or skip the file ??

>> Do you think this could help you? <<

The first part could help, the second could be a litte more improved I think.
I'm looking forward to the next drop.

BTW, all this could/should only be possible for shared folders. I'm not aware how to calculate the hash-codes, but I think it is possible to get different hash-codes for the same files (sometime they have other bps or lenght by the same bps because of longer recordings of the same file). Am I right ??
Anyway, thanks for your work on this great program.

Greetings
RG
