Feature Request: Scan History with Delta Comparison
One important interest in launch items is any changes in the system over time. Therefore a scan history with an automatic comparison would make KnockKnock extremely more useful.
- The results of every scan is stored in a local database (e.g. SQLite or JSON/XML file structure)
- For each item in each list the following information is stored:
- Path
- Hash
- Size
- Create and modified time
- Entry point file (plist) or similar
- For each scan:
- Computer name (for database merging)
- Date/time of the scan
Using this "database" of previous scans, KnockKnock can present a delta based on a previous scan:
- Highlight changed items
- Highlight new items
- Highlight removed items
Somewhere in the application, a list of all previous scans is accessible.
- The user can select a single entry in the list to display the items of a previous scan.
- The user can choose the two entries in this list to show a comparison.
I second this. It would save an enormous amount of manual scanning.
