can I manually add a file done.sha1?

[tweetyhack]

Hi all. just wondering if I can do this: If I have a file already(downloaded from another program), how can I add this file into the gtk-gnutella database so that when gtk-gnutella searches and sees the same file, it will mark it as owned already.  And can gtk-gnutella mark a file as being owned even though it has not really downloaded the file?  I want to be able to right-click on a selection and mark it completed and that would stop(and prompt to delete the current download) but mark the download as completed.

Great work on the program.  I wish I did C but I find the pointers and address stuff confusing. I'll stick with Ruby :)

The easiest way is to share the files. Depending on the number of files
and their size, it may take some hours to calculate the hashsums, so
that gtk-gnutella can identify search results for files you already own.

The alternative is to edit ~/.gtk-gnutella/done.sha1 while gtk-gnutella
is not running. The file lists each known file, one per line, as SHA-1
in Base32 encoding, followed by two spaces and the filename, whereas the
latter may be arbitrary.

No, the only alternative is the manual method as described above.

This is certainly an interesting and worthwhile feature but it's not
implemented.
