Feature Request: Option to show checksums in url safe base 64 rather than hex.

Great utility! I use it regularly.

How do you checksum the Utility? by using the tool?

But then again how can you be sure the tool is checksuming it correctly being unable to checksum the tool after you download it :O xoxoxoxoxo

  Hi James,
  
  You can actually checksum this utility by using the tool itself.
  Alternatively, you can verify with other checksum tools or scan with virustotal.com (they are using SHA-256).

    How many pages did you have to burn through before getting to a VALID download link? Having to feed the click bait pages of CNET & Softpedia is ridiculous! I expected your DOWNLOAD link prior to this page would provide the file. I used http://onlinemd5.com/ instead ..

        I went back second time after I realized that my Firefox browser has Adblock Plus add-on and maybe that was blocking the clickbait you observed. I disabled it for both CNET and Softpedia and still didn’t encounter any clickbait before downloading the file from both sites again.

Hi Raymond. Thank you for your checksum utility. I understand that the pro version can generate multiple checksums for files in a directory, but can it generate one checksum for an entire directories contents (including all subdirectories and files) ?

Hi Raymond, Very impressed with your checker. Just a quick question that I haven’t seen fielded in the comments. It looks like the Pro version is a great platform to check for duplicate files by running against multiple files that you suspect are dups then creating a CSV output for sorting – does the output have the option to show the file folder location?

Cheers,

Darwin

  Hi Karl,
  
  There’s no change to the previous versions.
  It is just an additional config file to bypass the .Net 3.5 Framework install requirement for Windows 10 machine.
  
  Does this method work for you? Or your machine is able to run my program after you click on the “Skip the installation” option?

      Hi Sam and Karl,
      
      I tried the Skip Installation method and it does not work on my Windows 10 machine.
      
      My solution is to download an additional .config file (as below) and place it at the same directory as the executable (.exe) file.
      
      Free version: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XlijO-bNqZA2Cw6RQH8aCAC6sDdu53of
      Pro version: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ao4Obr6oznu9zPX4Kzv1CWVC6r_LVLDC
      
      Please try and let me know if it works for you.

        Raymond, both links point to a config file but these do not aid the issue, or I do not know how to use them. I placed them together with the free version exe and pro installer in the same directory but this does not change anything.
      - 37. Raymond | August 10, 2018 at 10:55 pm
        
        Hi Karl,
        
        If your free version is located in C:\MD5_and_SHA_Checksum_Utility.exe , please ensure that the MD5_and_SHA_Checksum_Utility.exe.config file is placed in the same C:\ directory as well.
        Do also ensure that the file name for both files are in the same format except the file extension.
        
        For pro version, the exe is not the setup.exe. You should locate the exe in the C:\Program Files folder.
        
        Once done, let me know if you are able to run the program right away or still see the .NET Framework 3.5 installation prompt?
        
        Cheers

        Hi Raymond, I’ve tested both. Pro an free. The config files will suppress the .Net 3.5.
        
        May I recommend to include them into the Pro setup and include them into the free as a zip file.
        Sorry for the very late reply.

I have used and purchased your product for years. I love it. My question is based on how I currently use my computer. I’ve decided to take my own advice and use a regular user account for everyday work. When I run “MD5 & SHA Checksum Utility” it constantly asks for admin rights to run. I am certain I’m the one that has done something wrong, but how can I correct this?

Regards
Again I use this alot and will continue

      Hi Jim,
      
      I just did a test by creating a new user account with Standard user permission and didn’t encounter this issue.
      
      Not sure if it is because my User Account Control Settings set to “Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (do not dim my desktop)” option.
      
      Alternatively, you may also want to take a look at https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/stop-windows-10-from-asking-for-admin-rights-to-run-unknown-apps/ to see if it helps.

  This can happen if you installed the application to a folder which requires Admin-Rights to read. I recommend re-installing the application to your new standard user, or change the permissions of the current install location.

  Thanks for the quick reply. I used your free version and it worked well on some 128MB files but when I tried a 62GB of the same file type, the status bars just keeps scrolling. The PCU usage goes to 70-80% for the entire I waited (about 12 minutes) but never finishes. Do you think this is a limitation of the free version or a bug? I planned to use this software to compare larger files too, about 2TB to 8TB. These files are RAW video files. Thank you.

    Raymond, I have an update. I selected SHA-256 only and ran it on the 62GB file while I went out for lunch. When I came back, I had my hash. I guess the larger the file the longer it will take to calculate, I just wasn’t sure how long it should take or if the app was hanging. It would be nice if the progress bar was actual. Anyway, I can time the process on a 1GB file and just scale it up and come up with an ETA.
    Thanks.
