I am trying to restore a function that I had on my last box. It added a tab in the properties menu of any file called "Digests". From there I could choose any/all of the hash formats, click hash and it would generate said checksums right there.
What I am trying to find out is either the name of the package or acquire the location of it's installation.
I have started a thread on UbuntuForums pertaining to this already
There is nautilus-gtkhash to add a context menu to nautilus.
The standalone application is gtkhash.
Both can be installed with
sudo apt install gtkhash
or
sudo apt install nautilus-gtkhash
After installing, restart nautilus. You can close nautilus as follows. Merely closing all the nautilus windows is not enough.
nautilus -q
After restarting nautilus, there will now be a Digest tab in the Properties dialog box.
First, create a script to create a message with the md5 checksum. This will also handle paths with spaces. I saved this as /usr/local/bin/md5info. Make it executable.
#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'\n'
zenity --info --text "$(md5sum $1 | sed 's/ /\n/')"
Install nautilus-actions, with which you can add bits to the context menu.
sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions
Open System>Preferences>Nautilus Actions Configuration.
Add a new action. On the Action tab, specify
Context label: Digest
You can add a tooltip and icon if you like.
On the Command tab, under Command:
Path: md5info
Parameters: %d%f
Save the changes. You might need to kill existing nautilus windows with nautilus -q the first time.
I found a better Nautilus Integrated Checksum generator. To install:
Download HashTab Python Script and extract the ".py" file to ~/.nautilus/python-extensions
(if the folder doesn't exist just make it)
Now you need to install python-nautilus
sudo apt-get install python-nautilus
Last but not least we need to restart Nautilus
nautilus -q && nautilus
Now you just select any file and go to Properties-->Digests and you should get this:
