File extension not added

[vivadavid]

Hi!

HashCheck doesn't automatically add the SHA1 file extension when trying to create a SHA1 hash. In the past, I would choose a different one (for example, SHA256), the extension would be added, then I would switch back to SHA1 and the extension would be there. Now, the only thing I can do is to add the extension manually.

Thanks!

Correction: the next time you want to create the SHA1 hash, there's no problem with the extension, so the problem only arises the first time you run the programme.

in my experience the 'extension not added' bug happens when the following happen at the same time

• you are creating a hash for a single file
• the file for which you try to create a hash already has some sort of file extension (in your example above the file has a ZIM extension)
• you FIRST select a different hash algorithm from the dropdown than the one that was last active when the hash save window opened. HashCheck will try to use the original file extension in this case.

Note the "FIRST select" above is essential: this is because if you don't close that window and select another, different (SECOND) hashing algorithm, then HashCheck will drop the original file extension and propose a hashing-algorithm appropriate file extension.

Just a litte addition: This error did not occur on Windows 7. I only realized it on Windows 10.
