md5 & flac checking & creation scripts

I did alot of updates to these scripts. The dotpet will install the following to /usr/local/bin/

ffpchecker: This will verify flac fingerprints in .ffp files or .txt files with the fingerprint signatures in them. It requires metaflac & gtklogfileviewer (both are in Puppy 4)

ffpcreator: This will create a flac fingerprint file for an entire directory of flac files or for a single flac file. It requires metaflac & gtkdialog (both are in Puppy 4)

md5checker: This will verify a md5 file signature matches the actual file. The file must have md5 in the name. It requires gtklogfileviewer.

md5creator: This will create a md5 signature file for a single file or an entire directory of files. It requires gtkdialog.

md5checkerwrapper: This will recursively check thru a directory and run ffpchecker, md5checker, & test all flac files. It's especially useful if you burn several directories of flac files to a dvd and you want to verify everything after the burn. It requires metaflac & gtklogfileviewer.

You may want to copy all of the scripts to your desktop and then you can just drag files or directories onto the icons to start the scripts.

I really don't use Rox that much but I thought Setting the run action would only apply to md5 files but it seems it applies to the MIME file type instead. I'll probably change this app so it's just a desktop icon that you can drag your md5 to be verified onto. I'll probably have a little script to create a md5 too. I'll work on that sometime this weekend.

updated the md5creator script to be able to accept and create a md5 for a full directory as well as an individual file.

Updated the md5checker & ffpchecker scripts. Now the files will verify if they have to follow a path like "Disc 1/myfile.flac". Also they Windows path will be changed from "\" to "/" so the files can be verified in linux. I noticed some md5's created by the Windows program Trader's Little Helper create several lines on the top of the file starting with ";". I made it so lines that start with ";" & "#" will be ignored.

@plinej ... I'm realy keen to use a tool like this but have Ubuntu installed. Would you mind making the script available in a form I could use with Ubuntu?
