Format of output from Compute Checksums dialogs has changed

#1 Post by joq » 29.01.2021, 08:01

Hi,
I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but leaning towards bug.

I routinely select a file in FreeCommander and press CTRL + K to bring up the Compute Checksums dialog. I normally use SHA256 for checksum method. I have checked both Store checksums and Create separate SHA256-files for each file (notice that is grammatically incorrect, by the way). I click Run. In the Files tab, I press CTRL + INS to copy the output to the clipboard. The format of the output has recently changed:

If I open up the file that FreeCommander created, the contents are:
# SHA256 checksums generated by FreeCommander (http://www.freecommander.com) 29-Jan-21 08:56:06

E3B0C44298FC1C149AFBF4C8996FB92427AE41E4649B934CA495991B7852B855 *my_little_example.txt
What is copied to my clipboard is now:
E3B0C44298FC1C149AFBF4C8996FB92427AE41E4649B934CA495991B7852B855
..whereas it used to be
E3B0C44298FC1C149AFBF4C8996FB92427AE41E4649B934CA495991B7852B855 *my_little_example.txt
That is, the file name is missing. This makes the clipboard output rather useless. (I store big attachments I receive via E-mail to the hard disk and then paste the checksum output in the E-mail, so I can relate the two).

I am using FreeCommander XE 2021 Build 841 64-bit donor.

Thank you for this wonderful product!
Jocke

...and now I noticed that it seems to make a difference if I select ONE or MULTIPLE files. With multiple files, the behavior is as before, with (in my opinion) "correct" output to the clipboard. But that is not the case if I run the checksum for a single file - in that case the file name is not included in the output to the clipboard.
