« Last post by SwissKnife64 on August 31, 2026, 11:05:54 »The specification for a checksum file are
[checksum][space][format][filename]
The format is a space for text or a * for binary, resulting in a 2 spaces separator " " or a space and * separator " *"
Following the specifications, a file that is calculated as text has 2 spaces between checksum and file name, a file that is calculated as binary input has a space and a * between checksum and filename
Your "File Verifier" only accepts the " *" separator for .MD5 files
Your "File Verifier" only accepts the " " or " " separator for .SHA1, .SHA256 or .SHA512 files

So if the checksum file has 2 or more space between checksum and filename it does not work ?
if file does not contain filename it does not work..
and .SHA does work ?

Support and Feedback / File Verifier start of calculation
« Last post by SwissKnife64 on August 31, 2026, 10:30:48 »When I double click a file checksum, the file verifier opens and is ready for calculation.
I would expect that the calculation is done automatically.
When I double click an other file check sum, the already present file check sum is verified, but the newly added is only ready for calculation.
I would expect that the calculation is done automatically.
When i drop an other file to a verification entry, and start the verification, the message "50% done" is shown.

Support and Feedback / File Verifier tab column header
« Last post by SwissKnife64 on August 31, 2026, 10:23:03 »The "File Verifier" tab column header has unexpected behaviour.
When I move a column during width adjustment to the right margin, all column to the right of adjustment disappear. The visibility can still be toggled in the context menu, but the columns are gone.
There is no option in the context menu to add the column again.
Work around: get a fresh "File Verifier"

The extension .SHA is recognized as checksum file, but no calculations are done
If the file name is missing in the checksum file, I can drop a file in the "File Verifier". I expect that the calculation is then done with this fiel. No calculation is done.
Examples of accepted and not accepted check sum files are attached
Powershell 7 command to generate a accepted .MD5 checksum
$hashObj = Get-FileHash -Path .\LoreIpsum.txt -Algorithm MD5
"{0} *{1}" -f $hashObj.Hash, (Split-Path $hashObj.Path -Leaf) | Out-File -FilePath ".\LoreIpsum.md5"

"{0} {1}" -f $hashObj.Hash, (Split-Path $hashObj.Path -Leaf) | Out-File -FilePath ".\LoreIpsum.SHA1"
- .MD5 file with binary mark (after check sum a "space" and a "*") and file name
- .SHA1 file with text mark (after check sum 1 or 2 "space" ) and file name.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Scroling synchronization
« Last post by Lukasz S. on August 30, 2026, 23:57:28 »Hi,
Is it possible to have synchronization of scroling source and destination panels in detailed view?
I mean, if we have a lot of files and we want to compare two folders manually, is it possible to have simulatonously scroll both?
There could be a button to turn on/off synchronize scroling.

Actually There are MultiScript methods for it. I forgot that.
Code: [Select]
array GetTag( file )
string GetTagEx( file );
num TagAdd( file , tags )
num TagRemove( file , tags )
num TagClear( file )
num TagVerify ( )
num TagValid( tag )
