Generate Checksums
Submitted by dawinic on Fri, 2006-06-09 22:26.

Description:

Gnome seems to be integrating signing, encrypting, and archiving into the desktop, but I think checksums should be just as easy. This action will create an appropriately-named checksum file for you: {*}SUMS, where {*} can be SHA1, MD5, or CK. I guess you can add more hashing programs to the list if you like.

Configuration file:
downloadnautilus_generate_checksums.schemas

Dependencies:

zenity, from gnome-utils.
cksum, sha1sum, and md5sum, from coreutils.
findutils, sed, bash.

(i.e., nothing special ;-)

Installation notes:

Select the files and/or directories you would like to hash. Directories will be recursed, in order to hash each file within. Upon calling the action, you will be presented with a listbox to select your method or cancel.

The checksum file will be placed in the toplevel directory, with all file paths as relative to that directory.
