I like this software but it has some bugs.

I have been using FreeCommander for many years and it is, simply, outstanding. To not have a real file manager is a misfortune; to be without FreeCommander is to be handicapped. Over time I have introduced many new users to FreeCommander and the results are always the same after several weeks of use - fascination that they ever managed to function with that Windows File Explorer thing. I had moved to FreeCommander when the old Xtree/XtreeGold file manager was no longer functional in Windows, and other file managers were not handling the complex file management work regularly encountered. At first, the two default panes in FreeCommander seemed odd. Though one pane can be disabled or hidden, dual panes grow quickly on the user until one realizes - wait, how can anyone function with a file manager that has just one pane?

Hasher is a file verification system supporting drag-and-drop, multiple hashes at one time and a log viewer to show a list of processed files. The program can save to a verification file or copy hash results to clipboard. Many compare options are available or you can run multiple instances to compare hash results side-by-side.

Note: Lite version is restricted to 100 files per hash run.

The program works with files, directories, or text, supports Unicode paths and covers most common hash formats including CRC32, MD5, SHA1. Also features the high-security SHA256/512 among others.

Now what we need is a way to generate hashes for all files
in directories

Needs support for SHA-2 (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512), it's becoming more common now days. The interface is quite good though

I just wanted to let you know that your suggestions have been heard and implemented.

@ Jon: Latest version can compute multiple hashes simultaneously.

@ abc: SHA-256 and SHA-512 have been added in the latest version.
