checksum 1.4
I am proud to announce the release of the latest and greatest checksum beta!Changes since the last release..
~++ The hashing library has been rewritten to correctly handle UNICODE file names/paths. Now we can happily hash Russian, Japanese, Greek, anything! This works regardless of your current locale. The previous "upstream" changes were problematic, so I bit the bullet! ++ Support for LONG PATHS (beyond the Windows MAX_PATH limit). That's right! You can now hash files with paths as long as 32,767 characters! + Improved error handling in hashing library. Your .hash file will now correctly inform you of permission denied and other error states. ~ The convert_names preference (and convert_level) has been removed, with full UNICODE file name handling there is no need for it, ever! ~ The log folder will not open automatically if it is already open on your desktop. ~ The dialog that pops up if some of the hash files were invalid is now editable, so you can copy/paste the information somewhere / open the location, etc., if required. Note: This dialog respects your dialog_timeout preference, unless you click inside the editable area, which halts the timer. * A few other minor fixes and optimizations. 1.3.6.2 [previous beta] * Fixed an issue on TrueCrypt drives where certain ignored folders being set would halt checksum. ~ Improved handling of files where the user's Anti-Virus software has denied access to the file (or rather, presented it as a zero byte file) ~ Improved handling of fall-back where checksum was unable to write .hash files due to the location path exceeding the Windows PATH length limitation.
Available from the usual place. Enjoy!
for now..
