MD5Hash 2.9

(1/9) > >>

MilesAhead:
MD5Hash 1.0 is an x64 only Dialog app to create MD5Sum for files.

I developed it on Vista Home Premium SP1 64 bit.

You may download from this page:
http://www.favessoft.com/downloads.html


Drag & drop one or more files on the dialog.
Or, to process an individual file, type in the
filename or use the Browse Button, then press
OK.

Cancel closes the app, or if it is busy processing, will
prompt to abort the operations.

See the included Readme for particulars.  But, basically,
it's stand-alone. You may just copy to a directory in your
path as it makes no registry settings or .ini files.

It's not the fastest checksum app out there. On my quad core
Core Temp shows about 50% to 60% core usage out of a possible
400%.  But it's faster than my old FileCRC32 without bogging down
your machine.

MD5Hash 1.1 Now pressing F1 key shows About Box.

MilesAhead:
MD5Hash 1.2 I removed the About Button since F1 now handles that chore, and added a Clear Button.  If there are any results in the edit box, it will prompt you to erase them. I updated the screen shot in the first post.

edit: I updated without changing the version number just so that if the results edit box is empty, the Clear Button is disabled.  The update is on the page for download.

MilesAhead:
MD5Hash 1.3 Now folders are filtered from a file drop, instead of quitting with an error. If folders are found in the drop a count is displayed in a message box after processing completes.  Trying to process a single folder using OK Button displays an error dialog.

f0dder:
Why MD5? :)
Why x64-only?

As for "not the fastest checksummer", how do you do your file I/O? in case you aren't using either, I'd suggest testing with both memory-mapped files (which are both over- and under-appreciated) as well as overlapped (async) I/O.
