Compare a new filelist with an old one to see the difference

[tclass]

Hi,
I have a few favourite users that seem to have the same taste in music and movies like myself, and I frequently return to them to get their latest filelist.
I then have to search/browse thru the whole filelist to see if they have downloaded something that I might be interested in.

Could this be done automatically? The old filelist is already there and when the new one is downloaded, I would like to compare them and get a list of the new files.

The problem is that old filelist is overwritten with the new one.

I doubt this idea ever gets into dc++. But you can copy the old filelist, uncompress both and use some program to list differences. I particularly like Directory Toolkit to see differences, it can even recognize lines in different order.

A datestamp of the file, or the datestamp the file was added to the library (for future clients) would accomplish the same thing, and probably be much more workable.
