Renaminator
Reason
The Renaminator is a program that is being made to help add some order to the smashing pumpkins community. Most people in the hub (cid included) are for the uniform renaming of the material as it will help keep sources straight.
Specifications
The Renaminator will use calculate the tth sum of all files in a directory (recursevly) and compare the calculated sum to a berkeley db file. For this reason the Renaminator will be very useful to other communities wishing to do the same thing.
When scanning if the program finds a shn or flac (I may add ape too) file that is not in the database, it then creates a submission form. Since the files will likely be named Track01.shn or Track01.flac, the program will make a note of the directory the said files were found in. It will then prompt the user to enter information about the files (source, venue, date, etc) to be sent into the SPLRA team that is responsible for maintaining the database for the renaminator.
