I use hash tools daily. My requirements are humble- support for SHA512, UPPER/lower case, drag&drop, processing of multiple files, verification, export to file. A tool I discovered last summer (on 2017-09-16)- Hashing, fulfills my most common requirements.

Note
I contacted the developer about one of his other programs and he was helpful and open to suggestions.
Hashing is not the lightest hash calculator I have used- on my machine (Windows 8 x64) it uses about 43 MB of RAM.
