pupMd5sum

.. is a simple md5 checker that copies the functionality of a Windows version. It's tiny and works and is also gettexted (Google Spanish translation included, plus .pot file)

Use the file selector in the first entry to find the file to check, hit "calculate", paste in the actual md5sum provided by the file host in the "compare" entry box and hit the "compare" button.

***Requires gtkdialog4 (in the latest wary/racy/slacko/lupu/dpup)

Changelog
0.3 - first released version
0.4 - added splash for large files as checking takes some time, remove whitespace from compare entry if accidentally copied in extra whitespace

Don't know if it is of any interest, but you can check md5sum of burnt iso.

Shame on you

#120701 v0.4s shinobar: accept paramater
Plus ROX-right-click

[don570]

Note to Shinobar :

I tested it but there is a flaw

If there is any whitespace in path then it screws up.
This line could be the problem

#120701 v0.4s shinobar: accept paramater
#120715 v0.5 don570 and shinobar: fix spaces in path name, BASEDIR, more message

I've added radiobutton for SHA1 too, but haven't merged recent patches, more later..

PPM said it installed in System but I found it in Utility where it was supposed to be.

This one is patched for sha1 too, choice by radiobutton, however the rox-right-click defaults to md5, I don't think that is too much problem. Maybe a config file can fix that issue in case a user always wants to use sha1. Maybe next time.

Changed the name,icon and updated the .pot and the es translation with google, probably is a very bad translation!

[don570]

I made a new pet package adding the best of 01micko
and Shinobar's work plus added more file types
that have a right click (deltas and rpm)

I increased the version number --->pupmd5sum-0.6.pet

I used a new icon.

MD5 and sha-1 are calculated.

Pet package is available in next post...

I decided to convert the warning messages to Xdialog (from gtkdialog-splash)
since this will allow the package to be installed in more linux distributions.
See next post....

I did a check with Carolina distro which uses Thunar file manager
and realised that compatibility with Thunar is important.

Check under 'SendTo' menu.

The saving of the MD5 sum is now possible with the
click of a button.
