Verify Checksums (from checksum files)
 
With this function you can verify checksums stored in checksum files, to make sure that a file is intact, e.g. after copying it over a network or with a removable medium. You can create such SFV files with the function Create Checksum File(s) (CRC32, MD5, SHA1).... The function works in the background, you can switch back to Total Commander and continue to work. Currently Total Commander can verify checksums in CRC32, MD5, SHA1, SHA2, SHA3 and BLAKE3 formats.
 
Files with an incorrect checksum are selected in the current file list. The arrow buttons in the lower right and the hotkeys Ctrl+Up/Down arrows can be used to jump to all names with incorrect checksums.
 
The function supports CRC files in ANSI, UTF-8 (with byte order mark, BOM) or UTF-16 (with or without BOM) format.
 
You can verify the checksum of the file under the cursor (or single selected file if any) by copying the checksum to the clipboard (e.g. from the Web page where you downloaded the file) and then choosing this function.
