Description: Calculate md5sha1sumCalc 0.5 is a simple service menu for Konqueror to quickly calculate md5sum and sha1sum of file with a riht click!!! and save it to a file
note : md5sha1sumCalc work under KDE 3.1.Last changelog:
Add Caption to Window. Add Sha1sum Add Save to file!
Very nice app, but the saved files are not correct, when you want to verify them with md5sum or sha1sum.
Try this in your code:
echo "$MD5SUM ${CheckedFile##*/}" > $CheckedFile".md5"
echo "$SHA1SUM ${CheckedFile##*/}" > $CheckedFile".sha1"
(two spaces between $MD5SUM and ${CheckedFile##*/}
Thank you for your work! Pleae don't listen to those that seem to know what we all want and what linux/kde needs. I am always burning iso's and check my md5sum with the command line. I did this not because I prefer the CL, but did not have an alternative. I now have that alternative. By the way, this does belong here.
Yes there is a "KDE Improvment" section, but those improvements should have something to do with the way KDE *LOOKS*. Drop shadows, transparencies, keramba, etc.
This should go to http://apps.kde.com
What the above post says is very true and required in today's linux for the desktop (KDE). What I suggest is you find some way to incorporate this into the PROPERTIES dialog when I right click on a file and choose properties. Or even add an 'Advanced' Tab into the properties, where you can display this. Then this will be way cool. Best of luck!
I see this is your first experiment, and i encourage your work, but it misses some important points for a good human interaction: first, too many popups are annoying for the power user and for the average joe user. Provide this kind of information modelessy is the better way to do, and you don't pollute the rmb menu (which is already overcrowded). Moving this info in the context tooltip could be better, but it overcrowd the tooltip too and force the md5 calc every time you popup up the tooltip. Moreover, this feature is strictly a power user need. The average joe user doesn't need to know what md5 is, doesn't need to know what that hex string means, doesn't need to know what to do with that string. It needs to know that a file was changed or not, or about the integrity of the file after a transfert. This is a different problem, and having an md5 entry in the rmb menu doesn't give anything on this point.
Great idea you had !
Some things that would be nice to add: the same for sha1sum and a way to save the md5/sha1 hash in a file.
Imagine there's a file upload.tar.gz so it would be nice to save the md5/sha1 hash in a file called "upload.tar.gz.md5" or "upload.tar.gz.sha1". Just an idea ;-)

Check out this application which does something similiar: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=10840
When you right kick on a file, the dialog is misspelled. Claculate is spelled calculate.
sorry my mean is I don't know where must be this tool!

thanks! it's my first experiment and i don't know were must be here :-). if i know, i change place of this!
you are right this doesn't belong here !
and where must be???!!
Please pass this along to kde-devel mailing list. It is a much needed and VERY useful feature! Strid...
i send mail to mailing list ! :-)
on this: http://www.8ung.at/tuxsoft/calcchecksum.html i use it since last month and it works well. So you can merge your works ;)
md5sha1sumCalc is very simple, and menu service muse be simple!( i think)
this soft have service menu too and also clipboard capture: http://b1project.com/tmp/md5.png

I think it is not possible to change the properties dialog without patching the KDE sources.
yes, i can't and this to property without changing source!
