Verify md5 for multiple files
« Thread Started on Jan 2, 2005, 4:18am »
well, i noticed that it is possible to generate md5 sums for multiple files, then save the result to a text file. So I was thinking why not make it possible for verification to be done for multiple files against the md5 that I saved earlier on?

Hey,

yes, I want and request this feature, too :D

Why you can make hashes for multiple files at once (to bad no ability to create hashes for all files in one folder yet..) and save this to an text file, but you cannot verify multiple files with e.g. the earlier saved text file with the hashes..

Please integrate this in the next DigestIT.. ^^

thx and best regards,

It can do multiple files at once already, but support for folders is going to be in the new version - you'll be able to do both files and folders at the same time.

Verifying multiple files at once is also a feature I'm working on. It's a matter of what kind of interface to provide for this. List all files and manually enter in the hashes, drag and drop, manifests. There are quite a few options open to this. I'm also planning to work on multithreading: multiple files being calculated at once. Will it speed things up? Maybe, we'll see.

Oh yes, great Idea.
I think we don't need multithreading. The behavior of the Unix MD5 is good enough.
One Input File with the digest and the corresponding Filename per line.

Great Tool :-)

The multithreading idea is actually on hold as well -- still considering it. Overall it'll probably be a detriment to performance, though it would be a neat feature to have if I can get it working. Plus the control I'm working on for the user interface (which is getting a revamp, by the way) wouldn't really handle multithreading too well, in my opinion. So for now that idea's on hold.
