Point 1) Great, it wasn't really an important issue for me, just something I noticed. Good to see you are all over it though.
Point 2) Hmm.. That is strange. If I select 1 or more files and then 'Tools - Change Properties (Attributes/Time)...' the selection of those files is changed. Why is it different to other file operations?
Point 3) I can't see what you are describing here. If I 'grab' a folder and drag it over to the CheckSum screen nothing happens. The mouse cursor shows I have selected the folder and it reverts to a normal mouse cursor once I release the mouse button. However no folders/files show in the CheckSum screen, no other dialogs or prompts appear, just a blank screen.
What I am after is something this.
The files to operate on here:
File1.ext
File2.ext
File3.ext
FolderA\File1.ext
FolderA\File2.ext
FolderB\File1.ext
FolderB\File2.ext
At the moment it produces this result after three separate actions
somechecksumfigureshere *File1.ext
somechecksumfigureshere *File2.ext
somechecksumfigureshere *File3.ext
in one report and then:
somechecksumfigureshere *File1.ext
somechecksumfigureshere *File2.ext
in another for the FolderA, and lastly:
somechecksumfigureshere *File1.ext
somechecksumfigureshere *File2.ext
for FolderB
What I desire is a report like this
somechecksumfigureshere *File1.ext
somechecksumfigureshere *File2.ext
somechecksumfigureshere *File3.ext
somechecksumfigureshere *FolderA\File1.ext
somechecksumfigureshere *FolderA\File2.ext
somechecksumfigureshere *FolderB\File1.ext
somechecksumfigureshere *FolderB\File2.ext
I understand that this might be a bit beyond the scope of the file tool, and I am quite prepared to just produce the report manually. Since I sometimes work with 100s of files and need a way to update the checksums for these files and have it in a config file (for another program). The ability to do this easily would be nice. But not essential.
Point 4) I remembered an open source shell extension I used to use, before I found MultiCommander. It gave a 'Save as..' dialog box for naming the file report if many files were selected. The source is found here.
