Would it be possible to create a test showcase for this? |

don't know what you are asking for. The concept of what I did is simple. I ended up in a situation where I had 100s of GBs of data protected by many PAR2 file sets, but ran a rename script incorrectly which renamed every file, but since they were all bunched together, I couldn't separate them. I could identify the par2 files (size and magic strings), but the content was indecipherable. I figured, lets jsut run par2 in a loop repairing, but this would take too long, as it would slowly check every file. So I added this mode to make it quick (as all I needed was rename). |

I through together a quick POC for issue I filed at #184
makes it so much faster to fix renaming of randomly renamed named files with par2, as it can now stop scanning as soon as it knows a file isn't a simple rename.
