 | TurboSFV - Validate file hash values |
| Overview |
|
With TurboSFV, you can validate the checksums of your files. Based
on the previous stored values in the hash file, the checksums will be
recalculated and the results reported.
|
|
| Validate hash values via the Shell |
|
|
|
TurboSFV is integrated into the Windows shell. The validation process starts
with a double-click on a hash file. Alternatively you can open the context menu
of a hash file with the right mouse button and select "Validate".
|
|
|
Another option is to drop a hash file on the TurboSFV icon on the desktop.

|
Once the validation process is started, TurboSFV informs about the progress:
|
|
| Hash file: |
Name of the checksum file in the title bar. |
| Checked: |
Number of files validated versus total number of files. |
| OK: |
Number of files verified with a correct checksum. |
| Errors: |
Number of files where the validation failed. |
| Missed: |
Number of files not found based on the entry in the hash file. |
| New: |
Number of new files found comparing to the files listed in the hash file (n/a in TurboSFV LE). |
| Time: |
Actual time needed. |
| Speed: |
Indicates how fast files are being hashed. |
| Jobs: |
Number of completed validation jobs in relation to the total number of jobs. |
| Stop icon: |
Cancels the validation process. |
| Pause / Continue icon: |
A running validation process can be paused and continued. |
| File: |
Current file being validated. |
| File progress: |
For larger files, a small progress bar informs about the progress. |
| Name: |
File name with a status image. |
| Size: |
File size as detected by TurboSFV. |
| Type: |
Hash type as detected by TurboSFV. |
| Hash: |
Checksum as indicated in the hash file. |
| Path: |
Absolute path of the file. |
| Status: |
Validation status of the file. |
| Progress bar: |
Indicates the total progress. |
|
|
|
| Pre-Filter |
|
|
|
The pre-filter controls, which files will be displayed during the validation. This allows to limit the number
of files to be added to the list, for example only files, where the validation failed. This can be useful for large
file lists, which, for example, you may get if you hash all files on a drive.
|
|
|
The available filters are in the range from all to no files. A small icon in the first column header indicates,
that a filter is active.
|
|
|
| Search and validate |
|
|
|
Folders can be searched for hash files and the validation automatically starts for the detected files.
|
|
|
A separate menu entry allows to switch to a recursive search, which includes sub folders of the selected folders.
