Reporting Hash Values of Files (With Color) if Name Collision occurs

When doing Custom Move - Whenever there is a name collision - Program faithfully reports it - But the missing part being reporting the hash values of the Colliding files - and highlighting the hash value with different color if They differ - This Easily allows users to determine if it just a name collision or also same data file collision

I like the coloring idea. Actually, I wonder why I didn't think of that right away. I had considered it in 2017 but didn't like the colors and chose Underline instead. I tried it again now and changed my mind. The next version will use red to indicate different properties.
I also like the idea of using a hash (which is only necessary if the sizes are the same).
I put it on my list.

Hopefully this change will also be part of the x64 version.

Thanks for the Addition
P.S. : Any way to get that (small) change into my (Expired) Licensed (Standard) Version of XYPlorer - v26.30.0200

I doubt that very much (not an official statement, just a long time happy user here).
Which other software offers you updates after your update period has expired (for almost a year, as that version was published on August 15 2024)?
You should have gone for the lifetime version straight up.

This would require backporting it to 326 versions (including betas) since your version came out.
How likely is that?

Just Software Patches-"Bugs" - (Like Microsoft Security Releases?@10 Year Support?) instead of Updates/Upgrades -@12/2023

Any Kind of Automation Software to handle these kind of Things?
P.S.: It was just a wish

This wasn't even a bug.

Thanks for adding this to TB64. It's very helpful for those of us with eyes that are getting older. Works great and I didn't expect otherwise.
