CRCDropper

Some computer processes are verified by code, and every file is equipped with a unique checksum value which is determined by several different algorithms. In this regard, CRCDropper comes with the necessary tools to help you calculate the checksum for multiple files at a time, and copy those you need.

One of the application’s main advantages is portability, both because it saves you the effort of going through a setup process, and that it makes it possible to carry it around on a thumb drive just in case you need to verify checksums on other computers besides your own. Moreover, system stability remains intact, because registry entries are not altered in the process.

Accommodation is a walk in the park thanks to the classic window frame which holds all features in an organized environment. A large table shows all elements you work with including details like file path and name, size, hash code, and type. Adding files to the list is only done through drag and drop, with the possibility to add more at a time.

The application performs checksum calculus as soon as files are dropped over the main window. However, you only get to analyze one type of code at a time, but it’s possible to select a different one from the dedicated drop-down menu and choose to scan again. It only takes a couple of seconds to update the list.

Support of code types is neat, and you’re able to obtain CRC32, MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, CRC12, and RIPEMD160. The code is revealed in a dedicated output field which lets you copy it to clipboard. Codes are also shown in the table, but you can only copy one item at a time.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that CRCDropper is a powerful application you can use to extract the necessary hash code from one or more files. Adding items to the list is simply accomplished through drag and drop. It could have used an export option for all codes, but it’s surely worth your while overall.
