Default hash is SHA-256 now? I've done all others in SHA-1, how do I set this myself? #47

I love this software but there is no UI for the user than to right-click a file and select "Create Checksum File". How about asking the user what hash algorithms they want to use each time and by default? I use this mainly for data integrity on .ISO images. That's it.

The main UI is in the "Properties" dialog of selected file.

You can select hash type in the "save as type" box in the file saving dialog.

from my experience the UI uses whatever you used last time as default "save" type.

Okay, I see how you select the hash you want to generate. It looks like the easiest way is just to select it when you save the hash as cfbao has stated. The confusing thing to me is that if I go to the "Checkums" tab it can generate multiple hashes in one shot I guess. I didn't know if this "Checksums" tab was part of HashCheck's functionality or another hashing program I had installed. See image: https://i.imgur.com/ey5DBhy.png
