CRC creation dialog rearrangement suggestion

[Flint]

I suggest to rearrange the CRC methods in the dialog so that all SHA types were not split between two columns. For example, like this:

Code: Select all

( ) SHA1        ( ) CRC32 (SFV)
( ) SHA256      ( ) MD5
( ) SHA512

Hmm, currently they are sorted by strength, in ascending order. With your suggestion, they would be sorted by name instead...

At first I wanted to suggest something like this:

Code: Select all

( ) CRC32 (SFV)      ( ) SHA1
( ) MD5              ( ) SHA256
                     ( ) SHA512

but it doesn't look good when the second column is higher than the first one. So I switched the columns.

Actually, I don't think sorting them by strength is that important. When I create a checksum, I choose it beforehand by name, not by its position in the list. So it's easier when the relative CRC types are visually together.

Id sort them instead like
Crc & md5 in one line
And sh stuff in the second line

I thought about it too. Unfortunately, it would look more like 3 columns instead of 2 lines. And it won't scale good for adding new SHA algorithms (the dialog would become too wide).

At first I wanted to suggest something like this:

Code: Select all

( ) CRC32 (SFV)      ( ) SHA1
( ) MD5              ( ) SHA256
                     ( ) SHA512

but it doesn't look good when the second column is higher than the first one. So I switched the columns.

I personally prefer this idea the most: its sorted by name (asc) and strength as well, plus the good ol' checksum options are still in the first column too.
Would definitely choose this one of all.
