Announcement: HashGarten - a GUI for Jacksum

Announcement

I am pleased to announce HashGarten - a GUI for Jacksum. 


What the heck ...

Well, for those who don't know what I am talking about ...

  • A GUI is a graphical user interface
  • A hash is the result of a hash function. A hash function maps a bit string of arbitrary length to a bit string of fixed length. In other words, a hash is like a fingerprint for data, and you can use hashes to verify integrity of files for instance.
  • Jacksum is the free, friendly, and open source hash tool from the neighborhood, Jacksum supports more than 470 hash functions and many features, see also https://jacksum.net
  • "Garten" is the German word for "garden" as you guys from the US probably know - it is the same word as in Kindergarten.
  • HashGarten is the GUI for Jacksum. It allows you to access algorithms and features from Jacksum in a comfortable, graphical way.

HashGarten can run standalone and it can be accessed by the SendTo feature of your file brower, it looks like this (light and dark themes are supported) ...
