Bug Report for FlashSFV 2.5

There are the first two lines in the .md5 file, as you can see, generated by the md5summer, and it is displaying in FlashSFV 2.5 like this:

Normally a comments are prefixed with ";" FlashFSV is not aware of comments that start with "#"

I'm not sure if "#" is also considered a standard for comments, I'll have to look into this. If a filename were to start with "#" it would be ignored and that's not good.

[dodowolf]

I see, understanding your concern now.
The SFV file format is different from the MD5 format.
Thus it is possible for a "#" to be a preceding character for comments in MD5, while there would be a trouble if a file starting with # in SFV file.

But on the other hand, if a file starts with a ";", I found FlashSFV will just ignore it.

[bigstar]

I see, I was not aware of this.

um, as far as i know .md5 file format isn't support to have any comments at all.
it's format is
<hash><space><filename>

this is the 1st time that i see any app put comments in those files

[dodowolf]

I have just come out with an idea. Don't know if Big Star would check the possibility to implement this:

As the file system in windows does not permit / , those line starts with "//" is considered as comment.

[MxxCon]

but .sfv and .md5 are not only in windows
they are platform independent formats...
