Options (features request).

Hi! :-)
Hashing is a very good hashing utility.
In order to be perfect (at my opinion), additionally needs:
- A SHA512 sum. Some sites offering this option too.
- An option for entering the hash sum and comparing against the results (if it's true or false).
- An option for choosing which hashes you want to calculate. Calculating all of them, is probably a waste of time, for big files (eg. a Linux DVD ISO, can be >4GB.
And optionally (but not absolutely needed):
- Option to close it, on a tray icon. Reloading it every time can be a waste of time.
- Option to assign it high priority. (Again, useful for big files).
Keep up the good work!!! ;-)

Hello,
I've already implemented these features, even the optional ones!
Do you want to try it?
Thanks for the suggestions, anyway!
I'd love to! :-)
I tried it. Really nice work!!! :-)
Just one question:
I pressed "Compare" and in the new box it opened, I choose a hash value (lets say SHA1) and I suppose I have to enter the value to "Expected hash:" text box and press the "Compare" button.
The problem is that I can't paste it there. I tried both with the keyboard (clicking inside the text box and pressing Ctrl-V) and mouse (right clicking -> Paste).
Am I doing something wrong? :-)
A.
What? How? It's pasting just fine here..
My system is Win 10 Pro v.10.0.15063 x64 and I tested it also at another machine Win 10 Home v.10.0.15063 x64.
At the 2nd machine, "Paste" works, but clicking "Compare" doesn't do something.
I tried (at my own system), at Safe Mode and at diagnostic restart (with MSCONFIG), with non-MS drivers disabled.
In both cases pasting was possible, but "Compare" button didn't do anything. :-(
A.
Did you drag n' drop any file on the main form? It needs at least one file, so it can compare against it.
Look at the picture:
Yes I did it.
Results remains empty here.
Try converting the SHA1 hash to upper case and try again. Let's see if that works.
Success!!! :-)
Well, I already fixed that! :D
