Feature Request: sha256sum support

[kilowattradio]

It would be nice for Total Commander to support sha256 check sums since Unix/Linux distros are now migrating to that for their ISO file checks. TIA,

+1 support for SHA-256 and SHA-512.

Support++

Until it will be implemented you can use sha256h tool adapted to Total Commander. Or the alpha version of alternative filemanager + sha256sum tool (well, to run this filemanager on Windows you'll also need up to 1.4 Gb free space for KDE libs, but that should not be a problem in era of Tb HHDs).

Support too. For example, Fedora Linux images are provided with SHA256 checksums only and therefore cannot be checked by TC.

Well that was quick!

TC 7.55 RC1:
* Added: Check SHA256 checksum files (creation isn't currently supported)

Thanks Ghisler! This helps a lot. Hopefully sometime in the future we get also support for SHA256 checksum creation.

I checked 7.55 RC1 and I see that SHA256 checkums supported only with *.sfv extension.
Can you add also *.sha256 extension for checksum files by Krusader+sha256sum and *.cfv by sha256h?
*.sha256 does have the same format as *.sfv:

Code: Select all

checksum *filename1.ext
checksum *filename2.ext 

*.cfv does have following format:

Code: Select all

;sha256 digest
;Hashed using sha256h, by JackFoo: sha256h@yahoo.com
CHECKSUM AbsolutePath\filename1.ext
CHECKSUM AbsolutePath\filename2.ext

TC currently supports extension .sha and .sha1. I haven't seen any files with extension .sha256 and .cfv yet, so I didn't know that they exist. I will add .sha256 and .cvf support.
