Ubuntu – md5sum via right click in ubuntu

md5mouseUbuntu

Is there an extension or script to calculate a file's md5 hash using the right click of the mouse in Ubuntu ?

Best Answer

Here's a simple Nautilus script:

#/bin/sh

IFS='
'
for i in ${NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS}; do
  md5sum "$i"
done | zenity --text-info --title="md5sums" --width=800 --height=40

Save it in $HOME/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ (create that directory if it doesn't exist) and make in executable. If you right click on a file you should find it in the "Scripts" submenu.
