checksum give sha1&md5&crc32 at the same time

Post by *dindog »

there is a hash tool name hashtab, it gives all these 3 checksum at a time, and i think it should be at least a choice in TC, because just different algorithms base on the same file, it don't make sense that I need to read a hugh file 3 times in order to get 3 checksum.

[at 7.55a, you can only choose either sha1 or md5 out put as a file]

here is a another feature base on the above request,
scene:
1. downloanded a 7GB movie, a checksum is in the nfo file. and I copy the checksum value.

2. TC calculate a file's checksum value, all 3 of them, output to a file or not, user choice.

3. paste the checksum in a textarea, and TC tell your file is intact or corrupted. (TC compare the value to 3 result, since the different length of these result, it won't be a problem don't claim the value type.

So user can't letterly ignore the type of checksum value, just let TC to tell

Not good at English, feel free to tell if you don't understand what I'm trying to say....

just google it, it offer more not so popular hashes outcomes......maybe it's too much, but MD5 and SHA1 at the same time is highly useful
HashTab provides OS extensions to calculate file hashes. HashTab supports many hash algorithms such as MD5, SHA1, SHA2, RipeMD, HAVAL and Whirlpool.

I don't see any reason to do this - if you take the efford to calculate the sha1 checksum, it has so many more digits that it makes no sense to get also MD5 and even CRC checksums too, whose numbers are just a tiny subpart of the SHA1 range.

I run into a download file page gave this:

Code: Select all

MD5: 9F3638D692CF026526DFA05C3D370B07
SHA1: A8EC9FCE5BFE4D764FDE2DA8EC9A83119389B0C2
CRC32: 7066FBC4
for the purpose of verify a file you download from Internet, there is not much reason to do this.

how about you distribute a file? It's proper giving 3 checksum and let users choice a type they come into handy? I mean, it's a few line codes of TC to achieves this, so why not?
