I'd just like to point out that changing the behavior of --show=LEFT in
the way suggested above would also make this option usable to split a
large file of uncracked hashes into hash format specific files, changing
ambiguous hashes by adding correct format tags to make those files
easily usable (removing the need to provide the correct --format=...
option for each cracking session.
This was an issue that came up during the PHDays cracking contest, ans
IMHO this should be fixed prior to the CrackMeIfYouCan contest, may be
even prior to releasing the next jumbo version.
What do you think about this?
