Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version:
Code: Select all
v13.50.0017 - 2013-12-31 12:32
+ SC property enhanced: Added argument "#Hash.[HashName]" to return
a particular hash value of a file.
#Hash.MD5 = MD5 hash value of a file
The argument is not case-sensitive, so this would work as well:
#hash.md5 = MD5 hash value of a file
Supported values for HashName are:
MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, CRC32
Examples:
text property("#Hash.MD5"); //defaults to current list item
text property("#Hash.SHA512"); //defaults to current list item
text property("#Hash.MD5", "E:\Test\funstuff\goodfellas.jpg");
For your interest, you could use this property also in Color
Filters, but it is not recommended because it would extremely slow
down browsing. For example (don't do this at home), this color
filter will color all files with a certain MD5 value:
prop:#Hash.MD5:58172fd15526e1249ac8bfd690ced076
+ Find Files: The above addition becomes really interesting when
applied to Find Files, since now you can find files by their hash
value. For example, you can enter something like this into the
Name field:
prop:#Hash.MD5:58172fd15526e1249ac8bfd690ced076
This find-files-by-hash also works in Quick Name Search (F3), or
direcly via the Address Bar:
?prop:#Hash.MD5:58172fd15526e1249ac8bfd690ced076
Of course, this kind of search can take quite a lot of time,
especially if you don't limit it by further constraints, e.g. a
Boolean connection to a certain name:
:*.png AND prop:#Hash.MD5:58172fd15526e1249ac8bfd690ced076
However, it might become handy once in a while to have the option
to find files by their hash value, especially since AFAIK no other
tool can do this.
Another obvious use of this functionality is to find duplicates of
a certain file that you know the hash of.
! Toolbar: Since v13.50.0009 the toolbar lost its separators after
customizing it. Fixed.

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.
