Confusing title and labels in checksum dialog

There is a menu option 'Create Checksum File(s) (CRC32, MD5, SHA1...)'

However the dialog has 'Create CRC-checksum file' as a title and a label 'Save CRC file(s) to:'. The dialog is much more general than CRC alone.

I got really confused when I created a SHA512-hash for a very large file: the progress dialog only shows 'CRC'.

I think all labels should be more generic 'Checksum' and less CRC-specific.

Well, in principle, MD5 and SHA are also cyclic redunancy checks, not just CRC32. So CRC is correct.
