MD5Summer Changelog

What's new in MD5Summer 1.2.0.5

Oct 12, 2009
  • Compiled in Delphi 7, so this may be buggy. I'm hoping the Large Fonts issue some people have been experiencing is fixed by Delphi.
  • Coments at the top of generated md5 files with date and time of creation.
  • Semicolon (";") at the start of a line denotes a coment, just as hash ("#") does currently.

New in MD5Summer 1.1.0.27 (Oct 12, 2009)

  • Fancy new icon with alpha channels and perspective thanks to Brandalls Corporation
  • New logo in about box also thanks to Brandalls Corporation
  • My own fancy maze generator/solver in the about box.
  • XP Style support, again thanks to Brandalls Corporation for showing me how to do it!

New in MD5Summer 1.1.0.26 (Oct 12, 2009)

  • Some people (including myself) were getting incorrect checksums on some files over 200MB. As I suspected, Windows and/or Delphi was providing me with an incorrect file size. Fixed.
  • Files larger than 2GB can now be checksummed, I've tested it on a 4.5GB tar and it works
  • Basic .md5 file association. Double clicking on a .md5 file will run verify the file with the current folder (the one containing the .md5 file) as the root.

New in MD5Summer 1.1.0.24 (Oct 12, 2009)

  • Fixed top line dissapearing act.
  • Handles checksum files seperated by 2 spaces instead of space-asterisk.

New in MD5Summer 1.1.0.22 (Oct 12, 2009)

  • Can save output of verification
  • Can resize columns
  • The error with the top file dissapearing should be fixed.

New in MD5Summer 1.1.0.19 (Oct 12, 2009)

  • When creating or checking files, if there are errors during the process you are asked at the end whether you want to rearrange the file list to bring all errors to the top. This mean you don't have to go scrolling through hundreds of files to find the 1 or 2 that were broken!
  • All windows are now resizable.
  • Windows sizes and positions are stored in the registry between sessions. This is not as complete as I would like it yet. For example, if you have the window at the bottom left of a 1024x768 screen, then change your res. to 640x480, the window will appear off the screen. This is easy to do and will be fixed in 1.2
  • The default file extension is now ".md5" instead of ".txt" - this is in anticipation of associating this extension with the md5summer.
  • Default file names are now dependent on what you are summing. If you are summing a single file, it is filename.md5 where "filename" is the name (sans extension) of the file you are summing. If you are summing a directory, it is directory.md5 and if you are summing a drive, it is DriveLetter_drive.md5.
  • v1.0 had an error with the autoscrolling in the summer window, when the file list didn't fill the entire grid, it would scroll off the top of the window. This is fixed.
  • Some people (including myself) were experiencing access violations related to a third party file viewer I was using. This has been replaced with one I wrote myself and the problem is fixed.
