TurboSFV - Release history for version 10 2025-JUL-05 - v10.51 Changes New styles added The appear­ance of TurboSFV can be changed by selecting one of the avail­able styles. There are now three new styles: "Emerald Light Slate", "Metro Green" and "Windows 10 Purple". Icons adjusted Some of the icons, which are used by the appli­cation, had to be slightly adapted. Configu­ration para­meter: Days since last full check These are the number of days, that TurboSFV keeps track of the vali­dation date and results, to be used in other parts of the pro­gram. This value can now be set to 0, means that TurboSFV doesn't save any vali­dation details at all. Configu­ration para­meter: Shell property page "Hash" - Auto calcu­lation This para­meter defines the maximal size of a file, for which the calcu­lation of check­sums auto­mati­cally starts, if the file proper­ty page is being dis­played. This value is now limited to 256 MB. Configu­ration para­meter: Size of the fixed width font for the file list In the main pro­gram, a font with a fixed character width can be used to display the list of vali­dated files. The size of the font is now limited to 20 points. Error correction Saving configu­ration In rare cases, the current configu­ration couldn't be saved, result­ing in a reset of the configu­ra­tion para­meters to their default values. Imple­mented addi­tional checks to avoid this situ­ation. 2025-MAY-31 - v10.50 SSE support for BLAKE3 BLAKE3 and SSE The BLAKE3 algo­rithm is based on a binary tree: Parts of the in­put stream are processed sepa­rately and from two results (child), a new result (parent) is computed, fol­low­ing a given method. This ends up in a root node, from which the check­sum is taken. The described way makes BLAKE3 capable for a parallel compu­tation, as the parts of the input can be processed in a parallel manner, for example on four CPUs. An­other way is to use the SSE (Stream­ing SIMD Exten­sions) capa­bili­ties of modern CPUs, which allow the parallel compu­tation in lanes: The SSE instruc­tions use XMM register (128 bit), which can be divided into four lanes, each repre­sent­ing a 32 bit word. These lanes can be then processed with special SSE instruc­tions in a parallel manner, but now by using only one CPU. The used CPU must support these SSE instruc­tions (in­clud­ing XMM registers): The imple­menta­tion uses various instruc­tions, up to the instruc­tion set SSE4.1. As a result, check­sums are com­puted with more or less double speed, com­paring to the legacy x64 in­struc­tions. In addi­tion, more than one CPU can be used for the calcu­lation - because of the binary tree: 2, 4, 8, ... CPUs. This means, that we can process par­allel lanes on par­allel CPUs at the same time, result­ing in addi­tional speed improve­ments. If the needed instruc­tions aren't avail­able, then the legacy instruc­tions are used. Special hint for 32-bit mode: The BLAKE3 SSE sup­port is only im­ple­mented in the 64-bit ver­sion of TurboSFV (x64). Reason is, that in 32-bit mode, only half of the needed XMM registers are avail­able - with a negative impact on the calcu­la­tion speed. Thus, in the 32-Bit ver­sion of TurboSFV (x86), the BLAKE3 check­sum com­pu­tation is based on the legacy instruc­tions. Implemen­tation in TurboSFV Similar to the SSE based in­struc­tions for SHA-256, SHA-224 and SHA-1, the use of these in­struc­tions for BLAKE3 can be enabled in the configu­ra­tion on tab sheet "Cal­cu­lation". If the needed fea­tures aren't pro­vided by the CPU, then this option is disabled. This setting is valid for the GUI versions and the shell exten­sion "Hash". The com­mand-line ver­sions can be in­struc­ted by the existing switch "/d" and the ser­vice module in TurboSFV XE has an option for each calcu­lation job. The number of CPUs to be used for the GUI ver­sions can be speci­fied on the same configu­ra­tion page, for the com­mand-line ver­sions, the existing switch "/c" provides the option. Other changes and improve­ments Default values for new instal­lations In case of a new instal­lation of TurboSFV, the use of SSE in­struc­tions for SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256 and BLAKE3 is en­abled by default, if the CPU sup­ports the needed in­struc­tions and registers. The number of CPUs to be used for a parallel com­pu­tation of BLAKE3 check­sums is set to the highest value of the series (1, 2, 4, 8, ...), but less then avail­able CPUs. These settings can be adjusted in the configu­ration on page "Cal­cu­lation". The default values also apply by clicking on the reset button. Service jobs in TurboSFV XE. For vali­dation jobs, the final progress indi­cation is now dis­played in the service log file. 2025-APR-19 - v10.41 MD5: Improved calcu­lation speed (64 bit) Reviewed the implemen­tation of the MD5 algo­rithm: Some bottle­necks detec­ted and removed, result­ing in a calcu­lation speed, which is around 30% faster. Note, that the changes only affect the 64 bit version of TurboSFV (x64), the 32 bit version (x86) remains un­changed. TurboSFV XE: Service jobs For new jobs of type cre­ation, the checkbox "absolute path" is now checked by default, because most likely, relative paths aren't used for service jobs. Enlarged the input fields "file mask" and "file name" for the job type cre­ation. The job name is now dis­played in the window title, while modify­ing the job para­meters. Fixed an issue with the mes­sage box, where a hori­zontal scrollbar ap­peared, as soon as the verti­cal scrollbar was dis­played. Same problem was solved for the mes­sage box in the service con­figu­ration dialog. 2025-MAR-01 - v10.40 SSE support for SHA-256 / SHA-224 SHA-256: SSE in­struc­tions The SHA-256 SSE (Stream­ing SIMD Exten­sions) instruc­tions are a part of the Intel SHA Exten­sions, im­ple­mented in modern CPUs for a faster com­pu­tation of SHA-256 and SHA-1 hash values. This set in­cludes three special SSE based instruc­tions (SHA256RNDS2, SHA256MSG1, SHA256MSG2), which are de­signed to process the calcu­lation of SHA-256 check­sums in a paral­lel manner. This also in­cludes the com­pu­tation of SHA-224 hash values, because the same algo­rithm is used. Like for SHA-1, these instruc­tions use XMM registers (128-bit), and each of them can keep four double words (32-bit): A double word rep­resents one of the eight state vari­ables used in the SHA-256 algo­rithm. The instruc­tion SHA256RNDS2 can compute two SHA-256 rounds at a time, if the used XMM registers are filled with suit­able state vari­ables. This means, that four state vari­ables can be calcu­lated in one shot, con­sidering the on­going mes­sage input, which can be prepared by the two op­ti­mized helper instruc­tions SHA256MSG1 and SHA256MSG2. The overall calcu­lation speed can be up to seven times faster, if the input mes­sage can be de­livered with the needed speed. The three special SSE based SHA-256 instruc­tions must be supported by the used CPU, as well as other needed SSE instructions for basic arith­metic oper­ations and data movement. Intel proces­sors since 2016 and AMD proces­sors since 2017 should provide the needed in­struc­tions. However, TurboSFV offers the fast, SSE based calcu­lation modes only, if the needed in­struc­tions are avail­able. Other­wise, the older x86 / x86-64 based in­struc­tions will be used. Implemen­tation in TurboSFV In the TurboSFV configu­ra­tion, on the tab sheet "Cal­cu­lation", there is an op­tion to enable the use of SSE based in­struc­tions for SHA-256 and SHA-224, along with the similar option for SHA-1. This option is dis­abled, if the needed features aren't available in the used CPU. The GUI versions and the shell exten­sion use this configu­ra­tion para­meter. For the com­mand-line versions, the existing switch "/d" can be used. The service module in TurboSFV XE provides a setting for each calcu­lation job. Changes Display of over­long file names In the main pro­gram, for the display of vali­dated files, if there are files with an over­long file name, then the path portion will now be re­placed by the char­acters "..\". Con­figu­ration The con­figu­ra­tion page "Various" was renamed to "Calcu­lation". 2025-JAN-18 - v10.31 Changes and improve­ments Styles Along with the default style "Windows", only the selec­ted style will be loaded and applied. All other styles are still avail­able, but no longer loaded, result­ing in a reduced memory usage. Thus, in the con­figu­ration on the inter­face page, where a style can be selected, there is a new button "Load styles", which adds the other styles to the selection list. Error handling. In some special error situa­tions, only a general error message did appear, without inform­ing about the details. These errors still can occur, but now with an explain­ing text. Error correc­tion Configu­ration Fixed a problem, where in rare cases, a reset of the configu­ration could occur, result­ing in all configu­ration values set to their default values. However, a previ­ously exported configu­ration could still be imported and applied. Tray applica­tion (TurboSFV XE) The tray status icon, which in­forms about calcu­lation jobs running in the back­ground, didn't change, if the tray log window was opened. Command-line version "Validate": The command-line version "Validate" couldn't open a checksum file with an overlong file or path name. This works now. Fixed another issue with the display of the command-line help. Minor issues The text of some labels and menu entries had to be correc­ted. 2024-DEC-07 - v10.30 SSE support for SHA-1 SHA-1: SSE in­struc­tions The SHA-1 SSE (Streaming SIMD Exten­sions) instruc­tions are a part of the Intel SHA Exten­sions, im­ple­mented in modern CPUs for a faster com­pu­tation of SHA-1 and SHA-256 check­sums. There are four special SSE based instruc­tions (SHA1RNDS4, SHA1MSG1, SHA1MSG2, SHA1NEXTE), which are de­signed to process the SHA-1 calcu­lation in a parallel manner. These instruc­tions use XMM registers (128-bit), where each of them can work with four 32-bit values, which is the default bitness of the vari­ables used in the SHA-1 algo­rithm. The in­struc­tion SHA1RNDS4 does not only compute one of the SHA-1 calcu­la­tion rounds in one shot: By filling the used XMM registers with suitable four SHA-1 state vari­ables, four rounds can be computed at a time. In fact, the compu­tation can be up to five times faster, if the storage medi­um can deliver the input message with the appropriate speed. The used CPU must support these SSE based SHA-1 instruc­tions, which should be the case for Intel proces­sors since 2016 and for AMD proces­sors since 2017. In addition, other SSE instruc­tions used for data shuffle and movement, arith­metic and other oper­ations must be sup­ported by the CPU, up to the SSE enhance­ment SSE4.1. However, if the CPU is capable to process SSE based SHA-1 in­struc­tions, then it should also provide the needed basic SSE instruc­tions. TurboSFV checks the CPU against the needed fea­tures before offer­ing the faster SSE based calcu­lation modes: If failed, then the exis­ting x86 / x86-64 based, legacy instruc­tions will be used. On success, the SSE based instruc­tions can be op­tion­ally used. Implemen­tation in TurboSFV In the configu­ra­tion dialog of TurboSFV, there is a new tab sheet "Various" (in v10.40 renamed to "Calculation"), which offers the option to use SSE instruc­tions for SHA-1. If the needed fea­tures are not imple­mented in the proces­sor, then this option is disabled and the legacy CPU in­struc­tions will be used auto­mati­cally. This configu­ration parameter is valid for calcu­lations processed with the GUI versions (create / validate check­sums) and the shell exten­sion property sheet page "Hash". The command-line versions come with their own new switch "/d", which in­structs them to use the SSE based instruc­tions in case of SHA-1. More over, this setting isn't con­sidered by the service module in TurboSFV XE, where for each calcu­lation job, this para­meter can be adjusted. Changes and improve­ments Context menu for short­cuts. The Windows shell treats short­cut files in a dif­ferent manner than normal files (in fact: for the shell, a short­cut isn't a file), thus the TurboSFV menu entry doesn't appear in the context menu of the files, if only short­cut files are selected. In the TurboSFV configu­ration on page "Shell (Admin)", there is a new check­box, which allows to regis­ter the menu entry also for short­cut files. This is automati­cally done for new in­stal­lations - for update in­stal­lations, this must be done manu­ally, by starting TurboSFV with adminis­tration rights and checking the checkbox. Note that TurboSFV does not resolve a short­cut: A check­sum will be calcu­lated for the short­cut file ".lnk" itself, and not for the tar­get, where the short­cut points to. Windows 11 context menu regis­tration In the TurboSFV configu­ration on page "Shell (User)", there is a button, which can be used - in case of problems - to update the regis­tration of the TurboSFV menu entry in the Windows 11 context menu on user level. Im­proved the way, how the regis­tration is done. Command-line versions: Calcu­lation hints If the command-line version (create / vali­date) uses SSE based CPU in­struc­tions for the calcu­lation of hash values, then an infor­ma­tional message appears in an extra line, infor­ming about this mode. In the same manner, if more than one CPU is used for the computation (actually possi­ble for algo­rithms from the BLAKE families), then a message informs about the number of used logical cores. New configu­ration page "Various" Along with the above men­tioned new con­figu­ration para­meter "SHA-1: Use SSE instruc­tions", this page con­tains three other settings, which were moved from other pages: BLAKE parallel - CPU's (moved from page "Inter­face") Enable cache (moved from pages "Create" and "Vali­date": This is now a merged setting for both, the creation and the vali­dation process) Buffer size - Net­work (moved from page "Inter­face"). TurboSFV XE - Job list Improved sort­ing of columns in the job list (can be triggered by clicking the column header). Technical: Replaced some used Windows API functions, tagged as depre­cated, with actual functions. Error correc­tion TurboSFV main program Improved error message, if the checksum file can't be opened by the applica­tion. Checksum vali­dation: Pause and continue The pause icon already ap­peared while ana­lyzing the hash file. Now it appears only during the vali­dation (calcu­lation of check­sums and compar­ison). Tray applica­tion (TurboSFV XE): Some layout issues fixed. Various: Some other minor problems fixed. 2024-OCT-19 - v10.21 Checksum vali­dation: Pause and continue Pause / Continue function­ality for the validation with the main program During a vali­dation with the main program (GUI), now, along with the stop button, a new pause but­ton is dis­played. By clicking on it, the vali­dation process stops and a con­tinue but­ton appears instead. If clicked, then the vali­dation con­tinues without loosing the results from the previ­ously validated files. This new function­ality is only available for vali­dations started with the main program. Lengthy pro­cesses can be tem­porarily stopped, so that other, for example, IO or CPU intensive tasks can be done. The main program can then con­tinue exactly at the point, where it was paused. By closing the program, a paused vali­dation will be canceled. Changes and improve­ments Creation of hash files. Improved detec­tion of sub folders while scanning for files to be hashed and better error reporting, if a problem occurs. TurboSFV XE: Hide or show columns for the job list. By right-clicking on the column headers of the job list, a new popup menu appears, which allows to hide or show columns with a single click. Error correction TurboSFV XE: Job list Fixed an issue with over­lapping controls while re­sizing the window. Shell extensions Two memory leaks detected and removed.. 2024-SEP-07 - v10.20 BLAKE2BP hash algo­rithms added Now offered: BLAKE2BP-256, BLAKE2BP-384 and BLAKE2BP-512 The BLAKE2BP checksum algo­rithms are based on BLAKE2B, but they can operate in parallel mode. BLAKE2BP runs 4 instan­ces of BLAKE2B and each instance can run on a diffe­rent CPU, thus up to 4 CPUs can be used for the parallel calcu­lation of BLAKE2BP check­sums. BLAKE2BP-256 produces check­sums with a length of 256 bits, while with BLAKE2BP-384 the length is 384 bits and BLAKE2BP-512 offers 512 bits output length. The check­sums produced by BLAKE2BP (par­al­lel ver­sions) differ from those calcu­lated with BLAKE2B (single versions), thus BLAKE2BP-256 check­sums differ from BLAKE2B-256, BLAKE2BP-384 differ from BLAKE2B-384 and similar, BLAKE2BP-512 check­sums are not the same like BLAKE2B-512 check­sums. The three new hash types must be enabled in the TurboSFV configu­ration on page "Shell (User)", if you want to see them listed in the explorer context menu. Changes and improve­ments Allo­cated memo­ry for parallel check­sum calcu­lation Optimized the amount of mem­ory used for the calcu­lation of check­sums in parallel threads, used by the parallel algo­rithms from the BLAKE2 and BLAKE3 family. Windows 11 context menu: Group checksum algo­rithms by family The hash algo­rithms can be grouped in casca­ding sub menus for a better user experi­ence. How­ever, in the new Windows 11 explorer context menu, further grouping of items in sub menus still doesn't work, thus this feature is now disabled by default, if Windows 11 is used. Error correction Shell exten­sion for the Windows 11 explorer con­text menu could fail If more than 16 objects were se­lec­ted in the Windows 11 explorer, then nothing hap­pened, if a TurboSFV menu entry was clicked in the context menu. The pro­blem could be examined and fixed. Button disabled, which allows to update the Windows 11 context menu regis­tration. In the TurboSFV configu­ration on page "Shell (User)", there is a button which allows to update the Windows 11 context menu regis­tration for the current user, if the entry in the new Windows 11 context menu doesn't appear. In some cases, this button was disabled by mis­take - fixed now. 2024-JUL-20 - v10.11 New configu­ration values Indication of hash algorithm in the hash file TurboSFV groups hash algorithms by their family and registers one file extension for each family. If an algorithm within a family can't be identified by the length of the check­sum, then the checksum will be written to the hash file to­gether with a unique identifier. A new con­figu­ration value allows to specify, where the unique identifier appears: Along with the check­sum like in previous ver­sions or - new - once for all hash values in the first commen­tary line. This value can be specified in the configu­ration on page "Hash file". The same option is available for the command-line version "Create" as a new switch "/q". Please note that previous ver­sions of TurboSFV don't know this new option and will probably fail to identify the algo­rithm, if used. Capitalize check­sums in hash files Another new configu­ration value provides the option to write checksums in upper­case letters to the hash file. This new option is available on the configu­ration page "Hash file". A new switch "/j" provides the same func­tion­ality for the com­mand-line version "Create". Display of check­sums in the appli­cation With another new option, it can be specified, whether check­sums are dis­played in upper­case or lower­case letters within the appli­cation, not depen­ding on how they are written to the check­sum file. This new option is available in the configu­ration on page "Interface". Changes Some issues fixed in the help for the com­mand-line version "Create". Shell property sheet page "Hash": Column sizes adjusted. 2024-JUN-01 - v10.10 Changes BLAKE2SP-256 added BLAKE2SP is based on BLAKE2S, but designed for parallel calcu­lation of check­sums. As BLAKE2SP defines 8 instances of BLAKE2S, up to 8 CPUs can be used for the computation. Like BLAKE2S, BLAKE2SP is designed for 32-bit platforms and works with 32 bit numbers, but in parallel mode. The num­ber of CPUs used for the calculation can be adjusted in the configu­ration on the "Interface" page (now one configuration value for both, BLAKE2SP and BLAKE3). The imple­men­ted version in TurboSFV produces output lengths of 256 bits, thus BLAKE2SP-256. Note that BLAKE2SP-256 delivers different checksums com­paring to BLAKE2S. Hint for users with a previous version of TurboSFV installed: BLAKE2SP-256 must be enabled in the configu­ration on page "Shell (User)", before it appears in the explorer context menu. Number of CPUs used for hash functions from the BLAKE family In the configu­ration, a value can be defined, which represents the number of CPUs to be used for algorithms from the BLAKE3 family and BLAKE2SP-256. Up to now, not all available CPUs could be used for the calcu­lation - this has changed: Now all CPUs can be selected, as long as it follows the row 1, 2, 4, 8 ... CPUs, because BLAKE3 is based on a binary tree. Same applies to the command-line versions, where the num­ber of CPUs is adjustable by using a com­mand-line switch. GUI: Less flickering With the imple­men­tation of new styles in v10.0, also some flicker effects were introduced, especially if dark styles are used and a control must be repain­ted, because a window is moved or re­sized or a list is scrolling. This kind of flickering could be signi­ficantly reduced. Error correction for TurboSFV (ME) In a special case, TurboSFV (ME) could use wrong calcu­lation para­meters (i.e. full path instead of relative path in a hash file to be created). 2024-APR-20 - v10.03 Improvements Main program; Counter for new files There is a coun­ter, which displays the number of new files (not listed in the check­sum file), if TurboSFV searches for new files. Up to now, you couldn't distin­guish bet­ween 0 for "not searched" and 0 for "no new files". As the search process must be trig­gered manu­ally, a hyphen now indicates "not yet searched" and a counter displays the result of the search opera­tion. TurboSFV main menu and Explorer context menu: Hide menu entries Some menu entries can be made hidden - under certain condi­tions. This process has been simpli­fied: These menu entries can now gene­rally dis­appear from the menu. If so, a default value applies for a hidden entry, which can be confi­gured in the configu­ration on the "Shell (User)" page. The following menu entries are affected: Search recursive Create recursive Use filter Full path Creation mode TurboSFV ME: Some improve­ments regar­ding usa­bility in the service configu­ration dialogues. Error correction Command-line version "Create": Fixed a problem with the parsing of the passed file argument, which could result in an unex­pected location of the check­sum file. In this case, if rela­tive paths were used, the paths of the files indi­cated in the check­sum file were also ad­justed to this location. TurboSFV ME (Mobile Edition): Fixed a problem, which could occur, if the under­lying opera­ting system didn't provide a help system. 2024-FEB-17 - v10.02 Changes and improve­ments This release fixes some recently detected issues and provides some improve­ments. Command-line version "Create": Mul­tiple file argu­ments Intro­duced in v10.01, the command-line version "Create" accepts more than one file argument as the input, which can be folders, files or a file mask. If more than one argument was specified, then the full path for each file was auto­mati­cally added to the checksum file, not depending on the /f switch, which usually con­trols this setting. Now the func­tiona­lity of the the /f switch is fully back, even for mul­tiple file arguments. In this case how­ever, it's recom­mended to specify this switch, other­wise files probably can't be located during the vali­dation. Import and export of confi­guration Registered users can use this functio­nality for creating and re­storing a backup of the configu­ration in TurboSFV. As a precon­dition however, TurboSFV must be properly installed. If this is not the case (a warning mes­sage appears in the configu­ration at the top of the "Shell Admin" page), then the import and export button are disabled now. This to prevent unex­pected results during import and export of configu­ration data because of an instal­lation problem. TurboSFV XE: Service configu­ration dialogues Improved focus control and navi­gation by key­board in the service configu­ration and in the job details. Setup Some display issues fixed in the setup pro­gram as well as in the uninstal­ling. Various minor improve­ments and fixes. 2023-DEC-23 - v10.01 Command-line version "Create": Multiple file arguments With the file argu­ment, files can be specified, from which to calculate check­sums and to save them in check­sum files. The command-line version now accepts more than one file argument, which can be useful in situa­tions, where a set of files can't be specified otherwise, for example by using masks or filter. One accu­mula­tive check­sum file, con­taining check­sums for all speci­fied files, will be created in the specified location. In case of multiple file arguments, the full path infor­mation for each file will be auto­mati­cally added to the check­sum file, so that files can be located during a vali­dation. Wildcards are still allowed, even for multiple file arguments. Improve­ments Minor color ad­just­ments for some styles. File property sheet page "Hash": Im­proved file size detection. Improved error handling for files, where a check­sum can't be calcu­lated. TurboSFV: Import / Export of configu­ration: A message box now indicates, whether the oper­ation succeeded. TurboSFV XE: Import / Export of service configu­ration: Added informa­tional messages, if an oper­ation was successful and what to do next. TurboSFV con­figu­ration: Improved focus control on all configu­ration pages. Error correction Menu entry in explorer context menu didn't appear for some files. Some language issues fixed. Main program: The menu entry, which offers to open the file pro­perty window, was disabled in some cases. Main program: For the sorted column, no arrow was displayed in the column header. More over, for the alter­native sort column, a second arrow is displayed now. 2023-NOV-04 - v10.00 New style for TurboSFV The layout of TurboSFV has been completely restyled: From the title bar on the top, down to the pro­gress bar at the bottom, from the border line on the left, to the scroll bar on the right, all comes in a new outfit: Modern fore­ground and back­ground colors are used, which match for the selected style. More than 20 new styles are available, each based on a stylish color scheme, including light and dark themes as well as other color schemes. The style can be changed in the TurboSFV configu­ration on the interface tab and will be applied to all modules, which have a graphical user interface. On this tab, there is also a preview of the selec­ted style available, in a way that some controls are already painted with the new style. A non-styled variant, which uses the standard Windows colors and control elements, is the default style. Not only the colors have changed: Depending on the selected style, some control ele­ments are com­pletely rede­signed, for example buttons, check boxes or radio groups. Even the title bar with the system buttons is now in line with the current style. In addition, all menu icons in the main program, have been renewed, so that they fit better with the selected style. Although many things have changed or had to be adjusted, in order to make this release possible, the core of TurboSFV is still the same, which was used in version 9. This means that users will fami­liar­ize quickly with the new version and will profit from a stable program. Additional hints: Included in this release are various other minor im­prove­ments and fixes. Please also note, that this release comes with an updated digital signature. TurboSFV XE: Job monitor Along with the service module, which can proceed check­sum calcu­lation jobs in the back­ground, there is a new appli­cation available, which is able to monitor these activities and to update the user with the results of these jobs: The job monitor sits in the system tray, looks for completed jobs and logs the results in a tray log. Fur­ther­more, the tray appli­cation can display balloon hints for special events. The job monitor can be started manually from within the TurboSFV main menu, or auto­mati­cally on system logon for a specific user. Once started, a tray icon appears, which comes with some func­tion­ality: On double click, the tray log is dis­played and on right click, a context menu opens, which allows to adjust various settings for the tray appli­cation, for example the auto-start feature. In the menu, it can also be specified, in which cases a balloon is dis­played (succeeded jobs, warnings or errors) as well as what should happen, if a user clicks on a balloon. Addi­tion­ally, from here the log folder can be examined and another menu entry provides quick access to the current log file. The job monitor can be a helpful tool for users or adminis­trators, who want to be kept updated about the auto­mated hash calcu­lation jobs, which they have configured to be running in the back­ground. Instal­lation notes If you have pre­vious­ly installed TurboSFV version 9 or an older ver­sion, then you must uninstall first the older version before starting the setup of version 10.
