[Feature request] "Favorite" hash action #73

Closed vatterspun closed 4 years ago

vatterspun commented 4 years ago

So this isn't a request for anything new, just a little automation to quickly process actions already available within RapidCRC Unicode.

Background:

This program has a lot of smart features and functionality, but at least 9 times out of 10 I'm really using it for one thing. In my case, it's putting CRC32 values into the filename. As such, I got the idea to just pick one action and have that run automatically when executed.

Current behavior:

When you drag-and-drop a file or folder onto the program or use the "Send To" menu in Windows, it hashes the file using the selected algorithms.

You can then pick one and copy it to your clipboard, generate a hash file, add the CRC32 value to the filename, etc.

Requested behavior:

In options, the ability to enable/disable the "favorite" function where a selected algorithm and output, maybe with a quick popup saying what's happened, and then either minimize or auto-close the program. Example actions:

I can mockup something on this if that's useful or interesting.

Note that an additional "are you sure?" prompt might make sense for some users to avoid renaming a lot of files if you forgot the favorites setting. Or just go with the standard prompt:

Doesn't the shell extension offer most of this (without the auto-close)?

Oh I didn't know that -- I only use the portable version. I'll setup the installer version and see.

vatterspun commented 4 years ago

I just got the installer version on a Win7x86 machine and, yes it does two of the three mentioned:

However:

  1. No current option to copy straight to the clipboard.
  2. This require admin, some systems can't install programs so the portable software is ideal.

I can update the case to reflect this,, create another case that covers it better, or I can close the issue if this doesn't sound worthwhile.

I'll go ahead and close this issue -- if you'd like me to clarify or resubit, please let me know. Rather not take up space versus other, more interesting issues.
