Checksum: Verify multiple .md5 files at once
Posted: 13 Jun 2010, 18:21
Hi All,
Each time I copy a big file to an external HDD, I generate a .md5 checksum to be sure that the file will not be corrupted when I'll transfer it back to another HDD.
Therefore, most of the time, I have a .md5 corresponding to each single file on my HDD, not a .md5 covering multiple files.
If I transfer several files and their corresponding .md5 to another location, although I can select all the .md5 files and call the "Verify checksum" feature of the Checksum plugin, it will only check the first file selected. Therefore, I have to call the "Verify checksum" for each separate file I want to check. Not very logical and quite time-consuming...
Could you consider adding a feature to check all .md5 files selected in the panel, sequentially, and list the results in the same window?
Many thanks!
