[Feature request] Generate relative path hashes #10

Description

Current behavior

The program writes JSON files to static file destinations e.g. c:\test\file.txt ... this is very useful because it's always easy to find and check files, but if the folder is removed or the files are moved to a different location/drive, the program will throw errors:

Requested behavior

Ability to save to relative folders e.g. c:\verification-file.json which would use links like test\file.txt.

Who would use this?

Individuals checking files on:

  • Cloud sync services
  • Removable media
  • Backups that save to a folder different from the original

Possible issues

This is a non-simple feature request because one of the following must happen:

  • The verification file would need to remain in the same place relative to the folder it's verifying (for example if verifying c:\test, the verify file would need to be on the _c:_ drive. This could be a problem if for example the _c:_ drive isn't accessible as root folder access may be disabled by the admin.
  • The user would need to specify the root folder location. This might be a problem because whether the root folder is _c:_ or c:\test is not clear and the user may have to test a few times to find the correct root or research the contents of the JSON file.
