Coming soon…v3.0.0…with SQLite technology!

Those of you who regularly follow the site may have thought things were quiet lately. Behind the scenes, I have been working hard on something I have wanted to do for about 18 months, and that is to convert QuickHash for use with SQLite. SQLite, as you probably know, is a very fast and powerful (but also fairly simple) database technology. It gives you all the benefits and power of a traditional relational database like MySQL, Firebird, Oracle and so on but without the enormous server overheads, user connectivity issues and, in some cases, licensing issues. With SQLite, developers [...]

QuickHash v2.8.4 for Apple Mac OSX

QuickHash v2.8.4 for Apple Mac OSX is now available from the downloads section. It should hopefully just run when the app is extracted from the zip file, but you may need to adjust the security settings of your OSX system to allow it to run, as it is not signed. http://34.225.163.28/downloads/ In the future, I may provide signed versions of the program depending on the results of the current poll which is to establish how many people would like a signed version of the program.

v2.8.4 Released

Today I have released v2.8.4 of QuickHash. It includes only a few fixes but they are significant. See the Changelog for more details, but in summary, it includes several important fixes to the Expected Hash Value field in the "File" tab, and it corrects (reverts) a previously accepted change for the "Text" tab, such that strings were not being hashed correctly. That was also fixed. The user manual has not been changed other than the first page as no instructional adjustments have been added. http://34.225.163.28/downloads/ I hope to buy a code-signing certificate soon, so there may be digitally signed [...]

v2.8.3 Is Out Now (for all operating systems)

v2.8.3 of QuickHash is now available for Windows, Linux and Apple Mac OSX users. This version should, arguably, have been v2.9.0 because, for the first time in years, a new tab has been added offering a complete range of Base64 decoding. There's lots more improvements too. See the release notes and user manual for full details, but very briefly the user can hash a Base64 encoded file (or a folder of such files) and have the encoded and decoded hash values computed, without the user having to manually do the decoding. There's also a useful button that simply decoded [...]

Quickhash v2.8.2 due soon

v2.8.2 is about ready for release. I just need to get it compiled for all three platforms. If you want to review the changes and the source code, head over to the Github page at https://github.com/tedsmith/quickhash.  Of most significant note, though, is the addition of a main menu that includes some basic functionality and an about page, meaning more 'about' information such as the the homepage and donation link can go there, instead of on the main terface, which some users had a moan about with v2.8.1. Also of interest is if the user clicks an alternative hash algorithm [...]

v2.8.0 – Minor bug in “Copy” tab

It has been brought to my attention that with v2.8.0 there’s a minor issue with the “Copy” tab, in that if there are 10 files in FolderA, all ten are copied to FolderB without a problem, and the log files report that, but QuickHash's visual report shows that “9 files copied”, instead of “10 files copied”. Will be fixed in the next service release (2.8.1) or v2.9 if that comes first.   I have added a bug report, here : http://34.225.163.28/bugs/copy-tab-summary-form-show-1-file-count/

QuickHash v2.8.0 for Apple Mac OSX Released!

OK, as promised in my recent blog posts, here is the eagerly anticipated release of Quickhash v2.8.0 for Apple Mac OSX operating systems. This brings all the great new features and improvements of the program that Windows and Linux users get, to Apple Mac users. Now, every time I create an Apple Mac release, I have some issues from some people. OSX is just a weird platform. Please note I do not have a decent or modern Apple Mac. It's a ten year old Mac Mini with 2Gb of RAM that JUST manages to run Yosemite, at a push. [...]

Quickhash v2.8.0 is out now!

I have just uploaded QuickHash v2.8.0 for Windows (32 and 64 bit)  and Linux (32 and 64 bit). This has been a lot of work and taken a few months to get finished.

Very briefly, an entirely new hash library is now in use and the xxHash algorithm has been added to the usual 4 algorithms. Lots of other bug fixes and feature request implementation. You can get it now from the downloads section : http://34.225.163.28/downloads/ The Apple Mac version will follow ASAP. [...]
