HashTab not shown on the file properties dialog

Does SHA-256 work on your system?

Actually, it does not (using v.9.70.0025 on Win7 64-bit). SHA-1 and MD5 are fine though.

Oh, I expected it would work. THen SHA-512 won't work either I assume...

Running the below for a file selected in the list shows "Invalid algorithm specified".

Code: Select all

text hash("sha256",,1);

EDIT: SHA-512 didn't work either with the same error message.

P.S. Can we get a flag to capitalise the letters in a hash string please?

SHA-256 does not work here with v9.70.0027 and XP SP 3.

P.S. Can we get a flag to capitalise the letters in a hash string please?

Why not just use:

Code: Select all

text recase(hash("sha256",,1), 'upper');

Thanks for that, more efficient to reuse existent functionality

I'm getting "Invalid algorithm specified." as well on SHA-256. Did this get fixed somewhere and I didn't notice it?

MD5 "good enough" for most operations?

Sure. Copy errors are very unlikely by themselves, and a copy error paired with an md5 collision is near to impossible.

Great, thanks Although, what's the point of SHA if it doesn't work?

Interestingly enough, XYcopy has found some corrupt JPEGs in my collection (DAMNIT!) and refused to copy them. This is a good result to a shitty situation, since WE just copied them corrupt and all to this other device I'm trying to copy from now. Grrrrrrr, but thanks to XYcopy for alerting me to the problem. Really must get around to bringing that ZFS file server online - bah.

Well, SHA does, or should, work on later Windows versions. Don't know what's up with your Windows.

Interesting indeed! What error did come up?
