    Hello, Checksum generator ExactFile has the function to create checksums for all files within an entire directory and later compare those files with the generated checksum file. (Other checksum generators which I have tried to use do not have the function to compare all files within a directory with their checksum file generated previously.) However, the latest version of ExactFile seems to be from 2009. Are there any other good checksum generators which include the function to compare all files within a directory with their checksum file generated previously?

      Excuse my ignorance, but has the method for calculating a checksum changed since 2009?

      The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

        Hi, This is not a c++ question. Interesting that you created this account specifically for asking this single question on a c++ forum. What I find more interesting is that the linguistic syntax you are using such as "which include", "generated previously" and preposition usage such as "within" and the overall sentence length[^] strongly imply a native English speaker and not someone from the "Russian Federation" as your profile indicates. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

          I tried to ask a question in a simple way, as is required by the rules. If the question is not in the appropriate category, I would like to know where to post it. Vlad Volgograd, Russia

            I am not knowledgeable in this subject, but since algorithms for generating checksums have not changed since 2009, ExactFile can still be used. But the author of the program says that it is a beta version and that improvements may be made. Therefore, I thought that it is better to find a checksum generator which is not in a beta stage and has been released more recently.

              Google will find it for you.

                MD5Checker does the same thing but it's probably around the same vintage and probably same CRC being MD5.

                  A checksum is trivial functionality and was by the first reference I found, created in 1961. There are variations but those are not relevant unless you have specific requirements. Other than that libraries that might provide that functionality, especially now, would only (or should only) be adding management functionality - such as apply it to an entire directory. So if you want to look for something 'better' you must first determine what, besides the checksum itself, that you need. Then find the libraries that meet those needs.
