It has a superior feature set to the ten or so others I have tried. I noticed two oddities while using it though. After extracting I found two .exe files in the main directory. They had the same file name plus a number 1 or 2, and the hash sums were identical. When selecting a folder to scan, the file selection window had some graphical glitches. Icons had lost transparency and the title bar was a different theme than my system uses. Anyone else experience these?

Edit:
OK. So the program uses its own them for all of its windows. The icons losing transparency thing is still odd. Now they all have white squares in the background. :shock:

Re: MD5 Checksum Tool 2.7 to 2.8 Changes

As Emka spotted on the Item listing; v2.8.0 is out and he raises a good point is it still portable?

The unpacked program is has a completely different structure
no Data folder, and changed from the two exe files (as noted above by dmg above) there is now just one smaller exe

Looks like a new animal altogether, as Emka says, may now not be portable

(note 2.7 is currently available through wayback machine)

The verification and recursive elements are very welcome. Is it better than FileVerifier++?

Edit: Just realized guinness' response was from about a year and a half ago. I must have missed this.

I couldn't say as I don't use them, I only tested for purposes of adding to the DB.

I've also posted this in the comments section: There's no [portable] link anymore on the homepage (where other apps do) and I can verify that v2.8.0.0 writes it's setting to the registry.

Yea sorry.Something in the background screwed with my regShot. I got a little over 50 values written to the registry. Just checked again and the only registry entries pertain to the ShellBags and stuff. Nothing that would cripple the program.
I also updated my comment in the comments section.

edit: off-topic, but I've found that my stupid posts are usually submitted after midnight... there's a pattern here somewhere :P
