You might want to note

You might want to note that Ikarus Antivirus [via http://virusscan.jotti.org ] reports Trojan.Crypt in the downloaded installer, probably due to your use of AutoIt, you might want to ask them to verify a FP [I don't use Ikarus myself].

Also VirusBlokAda VBA32 [also via Jotti] reports Trojan.Autoit.ITN in the main executable [md5hash.exe], again obviously in this case due to the use of Autoit.

It's a good idea to run anything using AutoIt through VirusTotal and Jotti, just so you can give users a heads up.

Virus Total seems to be having problems this morning and I was not able to upload it there

Just an FYI

[edit: VirusTotal report [ http://www.virustotal.com ] for md5hash_1.0.2.1_Development_Test_1_English.paf.exe ]

and for the main executable, md5hash.exe

I would just like to point out the names of these antivirus products that keep producing these false positives...it's like a monkey threw darts at the alphabet. I've been using NOD32 (not that the name is any better really) for years now, and have NEVER had a false positive for any AutoIt or UPX'd app, ever.

Perhaps we need to be crusading for better quality antivirus applications...

Understood,

I am just recommending that that you run your apps by Jotti and VirusTotal [as I think All Devs should] so at least you can give folks a heads up [on release at least] as to what they might encounter.

On that note, as you have answered my previous question, about the bug fix, testing will now begin

Small suggestion

this program is portable but the hash.dll file is saved in the Portableapps/md5hash folder and not the Portableapps/App/md5hash folder. I was thinking to make a launcher for it so that the files are in the program folder.

OH, one more thing, in the readme.html you have

Learn more about the PortableApps.com Installer...

which should be

Learn more about md5hash...

or something like that.

My 2 cents

May the Shwartz be with you

The hash.dll is part of the app, which is natively portable, which is why it's in the main directory. No launcher required. I don't see the point in having an extra EXE just to launch another.

I thought I caught all refs in the help html file...guess I missed one.

I don't see the point in having an extra EXE just to launch another.

It's for the sake of the PAF spec. It's been mentioned elsewhere about natively portable apps that the app should go into App\AppName and there should be a launcher named AppNamePortable.exe in the main directory. I remember seeing that brought up over and over again in apps such as CCleaner, "why is there a launcher, it's already portable" etc, but the answer is always the same. I noticed that your PortableFileAssociator is the same way, with the main app file in the main dir. The spec says that AppNamePortable.exe and help.html are the only files in the main directory by default.

Update v1.0.2.2

Despite another of my apps being forever stuck in beta land obscurity, I've updated it with a 'launcher' and the rest of the PAF Spec.

In more important news, it now supports hashing more than one file via commandline (SendTo), both in the first or multiple instances.

Ok, so both GUIs positions are saved with bounds checking to make sure they are always on screen, even if started on a different computer with a different screen resolution. Bounds checking is done on startup.

I'll release the new version in a day or two, to see if any more bugs / requests pop up first.

Is the source available for hash.dll? I can see that the frontend is open source, but I can't appear to find the source for the dll (or any existence of it before this thread for that matter)...

Work well for me

The latest 1.0.2.4 Dev Test 1 is working well for me..

Care for another features request? Some good additions are

A comparison feature which similar like windMd5Sum. If you wish to keep the GUI simplicity, the idea is to show/hide the second input box similar like windows media player show/hide its playlist
a built-in Convey Portable-alike feature: that is temporary create shortcut to SendTo dir, and remove it when the md5hash exit. IMO, it can be one of a unique feature for md5hash portable which others don't have. The on/off settings is saved in the ini. If user choose to enable the feature, md5hash minimize to tray icon on run. The tray icon will indicate that md5hash can simply be access simply via right-click on a file >Send To

1) I always thought that

1) I always thought that feature of WinMd5Sum was kinda silly. I mean, I can figure it out on my own if the two hashes are the same, I'm not blind. But md5hash has two features that will help you do what you want: 1. drop any two files on the GUI and it will perform a comparison and tell you if they match or not, 2. open the session history and it will show you all the files you've hashed in that session. The hashes are in order with file paths, so you can easily compare them.

2) I'll take a look at this feature. It should be easy since md5hash already supports drag-and-drop on the program icon for the initial app instance and also for additional instances (the second+ instance will communicate with the first instance and properly handle all the new files).

Thanks Wraithdu

Somehow noone uses this or at least posts about it here

I tried the latest version yesterday and dropped Winmd5Sum in favour of it
I really hope this becomes a replacement for winmd5sum, as it supports more hashes.

Well done!

Thanks guys

The whole point I wrote this was cause I hate WinMd5Sum and all the things it doesn't do. I asked in an older thread about making this an official replacement, but John is not interested in making any more AutoIt apps official due to the small number of false positives people get from crappy 2nd rate AV scanners.

I'm glad some of you find it useful though, I use it exclusively now for hashing.

Don't forget you can use this as a standalone (ie not PApps format) install. Just copy 'md5hash.exe' to it's own directory and run it directly or via context menu integration.

We're Not

The problem is that there's a huge chunk of the world that has no idea who we are. At all. And when they download something new from us and their antivirus says it's bad, they'll believe the antivirus. AutoIT has *huge* false-positive rates. It's used for a lot of malware. Neither of those facts has changed.

Most antivirus products will see your compiled AutoIT thing and a piece of malware written in AutoIT as the same app... because it is. AutoIT isn't compiled. It's always the AutoIT EXE with the script file stuck to the end of it.

As a result, a lot of PCs in the world will flag it as badware and not allow it to run. Many PCs will even silently delete it. Many of these PCs will be outside the control of the end user wanting to run software on them. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it's a simple fact and it's not something we can change.

Currently, Portableapps still publishing xenon version 1 as for public use. So, i think we should not never have the double standard when considering md5hash to be official.

Cut Off

We cut off and won't be adding any more. Xenon is being rewritten and will no longer use it. Nor will JkDefrag in the next release.

If AutoIT either changes to be a fully compiled setup (so that EXEs are seen as being more distinct by antivirus companies) or otherwise solves their false positive issues, we will revisit it. But it's unfair to users to give them software that random PCs, on a regular basis, will either refuse to run or actually delete off their drives when they are out using them.

future feature idea

Feature idea: If a file has already been hashed and it's hash is currently displayed in the text box, if the user selects a new hash algorithm the current file will get rehashed automatically with the resulting hash displayed. The user won't have to right click the title bar and select "Rehash Current" as a result.

It works on the last 'batch' that was hashed. Due to the way Windows works, this will happen when:
