Burn verification

As I requested earlier in the thread above it would be a great option to add an MD5 verification possibility to PM's Disk Burning (mayb e check somewhere else in the app too).

I usually don't burn my Archives with PM (but would like if it could meet all my needs in one app) since I allways collect the images I want to burn into directories add my copyright files and folders, usually add another folders having the burned RAW files as JPG previews and so on. After everything is in place I run a program to create MD5 checksum files on everything I want to write on that disk to have the option to check any time all my files are readable.

I still culd do the MD5 file and add it to PM's burning as an addon file. But having my folders usually spreading more than one DVD I couldn't make MD5 files containging info only for 1 disk since if PM burns I won't know which files will be on which disk. This is why PM would have to have this option.

I hope you can and will manage to implement this idea. I think many users would love it as an option even if taking somewhat more time to burn but it can help protect your archive.
