Save multiple checksum files at once

Open MrDito opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

It would be a nice feature also to have a button to save multiple checksum files at once. This is very useful if you want to provide at least two different hash checksum files to raise security against hash collisions, e.g. save SFV file for quick check and also a SHA3-512 file for case of hash collision. Which checksum files to save at once could be realized by a further menu line of checkboxes between file creation buttons and calculated checksums. The filename would be generated automatically by the directory's name, for example.

Sorry, who exactly is doing security checks and who is doing quickie validations?

You might want to look into command-line hashing tools like PowerShell (if you have a newer version of Windows) https://msdn.microsoft.com/powershell/reference/5.1/microsoft.powershell.utility/Get-FileHash or MD5Deep http://md5deep.sourceforge.net/

Thanks man. Yeah, it was only to be a nice feature when you want to store e.g. a sha1 and a md5 file (for example for compability reason) for each package of files on the web server, to do this at once. But it would be only a nice to have, so with no urgency and only if easy to implement. ;)

Oh yeah I guess that makes sense. If you (for whatever reason) only happen to have an MD5 or SHA1 checker on your destination machine, that would make sense. Thanks for clarifying.
