Mat-MD5 1.0 build 1 - The free software for fast MD5 files' checking!
Thanks for the download of Mat-MD5, the free software for fast MD5 files' checking.
1. HOW TO USE MAT-MD5
To check the MD5 value of one or multiple files, click on Browse... button, then select your files. The software will start
checking it/them and you can see the status of the operation in progress. If you want to stop the process you can click on the Stop check...
button (it appeares only when Mat-MD5 is checking a file).
After the check the results will be added to the "File and MD5 list" (filename and MD5 value checked). You can hide the full file/s name by checking the "Show full source file path in File and MD5 list" .
If you want to comparate the checked MD5 value to a string value (ie: you have downloaded a linux distribution - about 700mb - and you want to check the integrity of the file with the given MD5 string) just type or copy
it in the "Add MD5 sums for each file added" box and then press Add... . The string will be added following the list order.
When a MD5 string is added the software will automatically compare the two values (the checked one and the added one) and a colored bullet will appear in the first column of the checked item. The red color means that
values are different, instead the green color means that they are equal.
2. OTHER FUNCTIONS
If the MD5 values to compare string are stored in an external file, you can open it in a window by clicking on the Open MD5 file ... button, browse for the *.md5 file (or all kind or file) and open it, so you can
easly copy values in the box after closing the window.
If you want to save the list of the checked MD5 values click on Save MD5 file(s) value ... button and choose the target file. If - instead - you want to save the comparision results too, click on
Save MD5 checksum log... button and choose the target file.
With the right-click button on the list you can (once an item is selected):
- Execute the source filename...: open the selected file
- Copy source filename: copy the full source filename of the selected file
- Copy MD5 value: copy the MD5 checked value of the selected file
- Copy MD5 to compare value: copy the MD5 string value added for that item
- Edit the MD5 to compare value ...: you can modify the added MD5 value for that item
- Remove item: you can remove the selected item from the list
- Clear list: you can clear all the list
