    First off, great great tool. Simple, light, easy, just what I needed.

    Question now.

    Everytime I run the update, it seems the tool keeps adding files that are present already, and were not altered.

    2 files (380.34 KB) added in 0.72 sec

    Here is the latest example. I just had run an update and ran it once again right after to see what it would add again.
    This time I got lucky it only added two, but why? I ran the 2nd update right after the 1st...

    Any idea?

    My guess is they are hidden files and are being modified by some application. Try setting the "ignorehidden=1" option in the config.txt file. See if that fixes the problem.

    But both these 2 files that you see in the log I posted are definitely not hidden.

    If they were being modified, causing disParity to treat them as an edit, you would see a delete of the file followed by an add of the same file.

    The hidden file question is a good one though, because these files look like album cover art. Several music management programs out there seem to mark album art files as hidden by default for some reason. If they were somehow alternating back and forth between being hidden and being un-hidden, that would cause disParity to keep adding and removing them between updates.

    Can you check back through previous logs since the initial create for any references to these 2 files? I want to see if they were actually added previously, or else removed previously.
