In Ubuntu 22.04 and prior, I could right-click a file in Nautilus and ask to see the digests. There was a large choice of different digests, e.g. MD5 and SHA512.
This functionality came from the app nautilus-gtkhash.
Unfortunately, the upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04 remove this app, and it’s unavailable in the standard repositories.
I’ve been searching for an alternative way to implement this, but haven’t found it.
Question
Do you know how to implement digests in Nautilus on Ubuntu 24.04?
Bonus question: The same question applies to folder-color, which allowed me to set colours for folders within Nautilus.
I have a problem in that I can only find SHA256 hashes for a file. That’s the default. I right-click a file > Calculate Hashes, and it shows me SHA256.
When I change the hash to something else, say MD5, nothing happens; the window still shows the SHA256 result. When I close the app and retry, it goes right back to SHA256.
Do you know how to calculate a hash other than SHA256?
