In addition to checking the date/time and size of a file, would it be possible to also consider the checksum of a file (e.g. MD5 hash)? This would flag if a file's contents has changed, without looking at the entire file (usually too slow).
BTW, is it possible to obtain a file checksum (say from the file system), without having to read an entire file?
