HashMyFiles by nirsoft offers both those options BTW. My most frequent use for hashing programs is finding duplicates. Si I'm using HashMyFiles. It also has a add to context menu option.

RapidCRC Unicode is a hashing program capable of checking and verifying the integrity of files, folders, or whole drives. The program includes process priority, ability to pause/resume analysis, job queuing, easily copy hashes to the clipboard and multi-threaded checks. If using checksum files (e.g. .sfv or .md5) for future verification, options include the ability to generate for every analyzed file, directory, or a single checksum with all hash data.
Includes direct support for CRC hashing in the filename (common for anime releases) for example: "MyFile [45DEF3A0].avi") Other algorithms range from fast to secure, including SFV(CRC32), MD5, ED2K, SHA-1/256/512 and Blake2sp.
Based on the original RapidCRC but updated with extended Unicode support.

This is currently my go-to program. I tend to add it to the "send to" menu on machines I'm currently using and it works beautifully to check one or more files. Also, the ability to insert the hash directly into the file name makes so much sense. Just drag-and-drop it into the window and instantly know if there's a problem. Great solution to the multi-step check.

I think there is something wrong with the "CRC into Filename" function. This occurs with files that lack a file extension.

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?

BrowserDownloadsView displays information on both Firefox and Chromium-based browsers downloads. Displayed elements include filename, download/web page URL, start and end time, duration, size, specific browser and more. You can also calculate the MD5/SHA1/SHA256/SHA512 hash of the downloaded files.
The program will show a list of downloads from your user profile or all visible user profiles, as well as from from networked computers or an external hard drive. Details can be exported to to many formats including CSV, HTML, XML and JSON.

HashMyFiles is a small utility that allows you to generate unique file identifiers (hashes) using a variety of popular checks. These can help determine if a file has been modified or corrupted, as well as help determine the file's reputation by submitting to the VirusTotal database for malware analysis.
Formats supported range form fast to secure with CRC32, MD5, SHA1/-256/-512/-384. The various hashing information can be saved to a report (text/HTML/XML/CSV/TSV) that includes name, path, dates, file size, version and other info.

Blows my mind how stagnate NirSoft's programs become, HashMyFiles still doesn't have a way to "Delete files to Recycle Bin" or similar. And all his programs are still plagued with DPI/multi-monitor issues years after reporting about them.

SMF is a powerful file search and duplicate finding tool that uses hashing (MD5, CRC32 or SHA1) to determine similarity. Includes a host of filter capabilities and a result-reporting tool, with which you can sub-filter the result set according to your needs.
The program lets you search by last modified date, keyword, or file attribute; pictures of a certain filesize, dimension, or metadata info; MP3s by length, author, or bitrate; and duplicate pictures that have a certain filesize or dimension.

This doesn't seem to be truly portable. On its first run, it "installs" the portable version, meaning that although all data and settings are stored within the application directory, that location is hardcoded within the settings as an absolute, not a relative path. If that directory is moved, the program will either continue to use the original location for its settings - or, if that directory no longer exists, will "reinstall" into the new directory, and wipe the previous settings and database even though they still existed within the directory. The only way around this would be to manually edit the SMF_Files setting in the SMF.ini file any time the application directory is moved to a new location.

@olliebean: Issue with portable install fixed with v14, please report bugs on my homepage. |
Hashing is a tool for creating unique hash values to identify and examine files. This allows verification, duplication analysis, and can be used for file security (via the VirusTotal service). The program supports UPPER/lower case, drag and drop, batch processing and file export for later verification.
Available hashes include commonly-used algorithms CRC32, MD5, SHA1/256/384/512 and RIPEMD160.

As of v2.2.0, fHash has gone 64-bit only. The last 32-bit version is still available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/fhash/files/2.1.9/. |
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
abc
on 2012-06-09 04:33
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
