I'm using this command
Clipboard COPYNAMES=hash2
to get the MD5 of the selected files. How can we make it also work for subfolders? Just like QuickSFV.
it should give like:
d62a1b45212a9ab96d6f6a7a8ad9118d *FOLDER\File.ext
d62a1b45212a9ab96d6f6a7a8ad9118d *FOLDER\FOLDER2\File2.ext
You can use Flat View to get the MD5s of multiple files, but the Clipboard COPYNAMES command won't include the path for the files; just the names.
You could turn on the checksum and location columns and use the Print Folder function, sending the results to the clipboard or a text file, but that wouldn't match the output format you've got there.
If you want the same format it's probably easiest to use QuickSFV or a similar tool. You can create a button to launch/automate it from Opus, of course.
I would love to create a button to launch/automate QuickSFV, but QuickSFV has no command line options as I know of. I will try again.
Sorry, didn't realise that QuickSFV lacked a command-line interface. There are plenty of other MD5 tools that have command-line interfaces which you could use instead though.
I think I have tried them all! I have not found a single MD5 tool that can recursively go through the subfolders (except QuickSFV). If you know one, it would be of great help.
Here's one I wrote a few years ago which does recursive output. It doesn't put the * before each file path, but other than that I think you can make it do that output.

Thanks. I just tried it. This is a nice too. I don't know if you are still developing it or not but with minor changes it would be very useful. First if it outputs *, it would be standard and readable by other md5 verifying programs.
one other issue is that it calculates the md5 of the output log file also which it shouldn't.
Leo's tool is faster than QucikSFV X64. For a 1 minute operation, leo's spent 46 seconds.
