Filecalibur

Filecalibur is a software application you can use to analyze plain text documents, change their folder paths, calculate hashes, and synchronize directories. It's not wrapped in a setup kit, so you can simply launch its executable file.

At startup, you can modify the default paths to the hashDeep, Rsync and Diff binary files. The main window has a plain and simple structure, where you can open a TXT file to view each line.

With the help of hashDeep, you can calculate MD5, SHA1, SHA256, TIGER and WHIRLPOOL hashes and save information into a new file. Subdirectories can be recursively hashed, while relative paths can be applied in the output file.

The Fileworker tool can be used to alter the path information by adding a prefix or by replacing slashes and backslashes. It's possible to specify a new text document for storing results and sorting the output, extract paths, join files, compare two files, find duplicates based on one of the previously mentioned checksums, as well as to positively or negatively match files using hashes.

The Rsync utility can be used to synchronize files between two directories, and to delete any missing files in both locations. You can remove files from the list or empty folders.

The software program worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or prompt error messages. It left a small footprint on system resources usage, thanks to the fact that it needed low CPU and RAM to work properly.

On the other hand, we must keep in mind that Filecalibur is still a work in process, which is probably why the rudimentary interface and occasional grammar errors make it look like an unfinished project. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself.
