Sometimes hashes needs to copy in clipboard and paste in.. another places (eg config, chat etc)

Drop box and some others

2012-01-20T10:10:06Z

Well,

sorry to say that - but you did a great job with all the stuff, and totally fu*ed up GUI :/ (which was the case!)
It is totally unintuitive! And does not work well either.

1. Not tellin' that just simply drag'n'drop would be better, but that drop box in 1.5.5.1 didn't want to appear at all. (*) - read lower.
2. Making a tree on the left for just a few selections? It uses screen area - buttons'd be better.
3. Calculate/File/Compare - doesn't work in 1.5.5.1 (I saw your dd.jpg file in Help Forum - on my computer - it says all the time, that there is no such file).
4. Calculate/File/Compare - Generating file... one for each file? Huh? O.o
5. Generate checksum - NO DROPBOX AT ALL! What if I just want to add *SOME* of the subfolders? Or exclude some files. I'd like to do that in explorer and just drag it - like every other MD5 utilities do.
6. There is no overwrite quiestion - if the file exists - it just stops.
7. And in my opinion (depends on what is for one better) Instead of large no of comboboxes (when usually only one is checked) should be a modal box with them (not scrolled!), and after closing just listed, which are cheked on (and again - it would save a lots of screen area).

So..I use small MD5 program, beacuse it is *better in use* (more convinient) - even if yours is 100-times better.

What would make a difference? A drag'n'drop (or even dropbox huh) in Generete checksum file.

Oh, and there is just UNIX CR (end of line) in such file. I kindly ask for 2-bytes (windows) CR/EOL :)

(*) I solved problem by downloading 1.5.4. And ONLY when there was both 1.5.4 and 1.5.5.1 running, there was a dropbox in 1.5.5.1.

Integrate with 7-Zip

2011-06-01T19:14:36Z

Hi there. Thank you for this great frontend to this app. It is very good and polished. =)

I just wanted to suggest you to create a plugin to 7-Zip to be able to do one of the following:

1. Generate an automatic hash number in a separate file after compression (to prevent file edits/falsification)
2. Generate an automatic file (kind of a .CSV list) )with ALL files inside soon to be created compressed file (for the same reason above).

This app is already a great success and it would become even more used and popular if it could be integrated with another great open source project such as 7-Zip.

Just sharing some thoughts on possible improvements.

Cheers from South America

Shell Extension for Windows Explorer Context Menu

2009-11-16T03:45:12Z

I would find FsumFrontend a great deal more convenient if I could create checksum files through a shell extension within Windows Explorer. I am looking for a superior program to supplant the un-updated (and sometimes buggy) hkSFV, and this is the only major/necessary feature I find lacking in FsumFrontend.

Of course, this feature would be an option--and not default behavior. Additionally, similar to hkSFV, the menu would be cascaded, and options for creating each type (SFV/MD5/SHA/etc.) would be available (or optionally available). Additionally, if ticket 2388421 were enabled (to create multiple types of hash files for the same set of files), one could select a context menu option such as "Custom: SFV/MD5/SHA" or "Custom: MD5/SHA512"--depending on what he/she specifies as his/her "custom" set of hash file types.

This would greatly improve the usability of FsumFrontend, and finally give me an alternative to hkSFV. Thank you,

Algorithm List Scrolling Too Fine

2009-01-03T19:56:05Z

Scrolling the algorithm list by clicking the up or down arrow scrolls what appears to be a pixel at a time. Clicking above or below the elevator scrolls not by page but by about half a line. Clicking the up and down arrows should scroll by one line of algorithms at a time, while clicking above or below the elevator should scroll past all visible algorithms to those above or below.

Algorithm List Configuration

2009-01-03T19:53:16Z

The algorithm selection panel is painful to use. There are a great many algorithms listed that I'll never want to use, there should be a configuration option to specify which algorithms should be listed when using the tool. Those checked on the configuration screen would be the only algorithms that appear when computing or comparing hashes.

Improve Download Checksum Comparisons

2009-01-03T19:49:45Z

When downloading a file for which checksums are provided, the greatest security comes from checking all provided checksums for that file. It would be convenient to be able to use a "wizard" to select from a list of checksums, click Next, and then enter each of the checksums, in turn, for the selected algorithms, click Next, and have a display that reveals which checksums match and which do not (with "Good" in green and "Bad" in red, or with icons). The same thing could be done with files containing the checksums for the various algorithms.

The current interface requires selecting an algorithm, selecting a file, pasting a hash, computing the hash, checking for green hash text, deselecting the algorithm and selecting another, pasting another hash, computing the new hash, checking for green hash text, and so on. Alternatively, one must select multiple algorithms and compute them all in one pass and then manually compare the hashes. While the current functionality does work, it is less obvious and less convenient.

Add a "exceptions" config file

2008-12-04T13:21:56Z

It will be usefull to add a default or specific by command line "exception files" containing files or matching criteria rules to identify files to be skipped.

Add "on fly" filters on result window

2008-12-04T13:18:40Z

Is it possible to add a filter to select specific matching criterias on showning result window?

Thanks

command line params

2008-12-04T12:58:02Z

Hi,
actually is supported only one parameter (checksum file)

it will be usefull add some command line parameters

1. wildchars for checksum files
2. silent mode with only failed check popup notification.
3. verbose mode for failed check popup
4. very silent that call an external program passing check result

Thanks
