Squishy

There are a lot of actions that need to be performed on a computer on a regular basis, and usually each of them requires dedicated applications. Squishy aims to simplify these tasks by supporting a wide range of actions, including changing timestamps, generating hash values or encrypting files.

The application is a portable one, meaning that it does not require any installation and that it can be carried on a removable drive. Alternatively, you can activate context menu integration if you want to speed up the entire process of managing your files.

Whenever you launch the app, you get to specify if you want to browse to a certain file or if you need to tamper with the configuration of the app. It would come in handy if it could remember your choice and apply it the next time you run Squishy again.

No matter the file you selected, the application makes it possible for you to view its current timestamps, such as the dates when it was created, modified and accessed. You can modify one or all of these values, as you see fit, as well as apply some additional attributes, such as hidden, system read-only or normal.

You can also change the encoding type of your file while also selecting the encryption method you prefer. The utility allows you to define the key size and the password.

Another handy function of Squishy is that it automatically generates the checksum for the currently selected file, depending on the hash value you specify (such as CRC-32, MD5, SHA1, SHA-256). Double clicking the string copies it to the clipboard, so you can paste it wherever you want.

You can compare the checksum of you file with another value within seconds, thus making sure its integrity has not been affected.

To sum it up, the application is an all-in-one solution for those looking for a reliable tool that performs a wide range of file actions. Batch support would come in handy, especially for users who work with many files simultaneously.
