Total Commander

Creating CRC checksums on multiple files at the same time, when you select "Create separate checksum files for each file" replaces files' extensions with extension of checksum file.
However if you select multiple files with same name but different extension, TC tries to overwrite already created checksum file. [current behavior using version 8.01]

Consider the following scenario:
You have two files:
#1 - test.txt
#2 - text.exe

If you try to create MD5 checksum for them TC will name them both "test.md5", but creating second .md5 file will open an overwrite confirmation dialog.

It would be better if TC would name the files:
#1 - test.txt.md5
#2 - test.exe.md5
(that is - always append svf/md5/sha extension to already existing file extension).

The answer is here

Thanks.
Is there a way to make this behavior default (*.*.md5) instead of *.md5 when "Create separate checksum files for each file" is selected?

Set CrcAppendExt=1 in [Configuration] section of wincmd.ini. Details in help section 4.b.

TC will auto set CrcAppendExt when you specify *.*.md5

@davop

You cannot use CrcAppendExt because it is new in TC 8.50 and not available for old versions.
