Revamped replace/overwrite dialog

[XnTriq]

Mock-up

Green background indicates an exact match, red means… Well, you get the idea

PS: I also like custom fields!

[xnview]

perhaps the font color in red/green only??

That would be great, yes

• File size in bytes (if Tools » Options... » File List » Misc. » Use always bytes for filesize is activated)
• Timestamp including seconds
• Optional checksum calculation

Do you think this could be incorporated into the dialog for cmd_Compare, too?

[xnview]

or perhaps simply red when values are different?

At least for the checksum, I would prefer both (red & green).

Screenshots:

• Angus Johnson: MD5 Check
• TSoft: MD5 Checker
• Michaël Duval: MD5 Checksum
• TCPmonitor: MD5 Checksum
• 4dots: MD5 Hash Check
• Mathias Svensson: Multi Commander
• CzechMex: SB-MD5 Checksum Calculator
• Pasi Ruokola: SendTo MD5
• Dan Hersam: Snap MD5

good point.
a single color to indicate the error is what I would do too.
don't ask the user to process more information than needed and keep the ui consistent.
I'm not sure how relevant these md5 check app are in that regard.

Whoot! Implemented in version 2.34

great work!

1. As mentioned in a previous post, Use always bytes for filesize (Tools » Options... » File List » Misc.) should also take effect in the replace dialog, IMO.
2. To prevent the 32-digit MD5 hash from being truncated, the right column of Replace and With could be moved a little farther to the left.
3. Making use of PathCompactPathEx (or PathCompactPath?) would improve the display of truncated pathnames: X:\Eeny…Moe\Destination\ vs. X:\EenyMeenyMinyMoe\Des
4. Although the files are not identical, XnView displays the same checksum for Replace (X:\Test\Destination\placeholder.jpg) as for With (X:\Test\Source\placeholder.jpg).

Code: Select all

Replace: X:\Test\DST\placeholder.jpg (Exif orientation 1) = 3126b90e4c94b4a19380baa7e567c273
   With: X:\Test\SRC\placeholder.jpg (Exif orientation 2) = aa00fea6eb31e37090fd21f21fa123b6

For symmetry, there should also be functions for "Replace all" and "Skip all". But to avoid too many buttons, there should be a checkbox "[ ] Apply to all".

[*]Making use of PathCompactPathEx (or PathCompactPath?) would improve the display of truncated pathnames:

it's edit textfield, so no need to shorten filename

Don't tell me you're rejecting my valuable programming tips

But seriously, I see what you mean: Users can select the text (Directory & Name) with the cursor.

This bug hasn't been fixed in the latest release (v2.35).

The fix isn't listed in the changelog but since v2.36 this feature works as expected. Thank you, Pierre!
