AutoHideMouseCursor ist ein kleines portables Windows Programm, das Ihnen ermöglicht, dass nach einer einstellbaren Zeit der Mauszeiger verborgen wird, wenn dieser nicht bewegt wird.

Das automatische Verstecken des Mauszeigers mit einem einstellbaren Timer (Kurzzeitmesser), ist genau das richtige Desktop-Tool, wenn ihnen der Mauszeiger zu lästig ist, wie z.B. beim Arbeiten mit Textverarbeitungsprogrammen, denn oft ist der Mauszeiger beim Tippen im Weg und verdeckt den Text.

Somit hat man eine freie Sicht auf den Text oder auf andere Programme, man kann dieses Freeware-Tool bedenkenlos testen, da keine Installation erforderlich ist, kann man es bei Nichtgefallen auch recht schnell löschen, ohne Spuren am Rechner zu hinterlassen.

Quick Hash GUI is an Open Source multiplatform utility for hashing various types of data including files, entire file folder trees, physical disks, logical disk volumes, file comparisons and more.

License: Open Source

Changelog

New : Ability to hash forensic images of the Expert Witness Format (EWF), also known as "E01 Images". Available for Windows and Linux for users who know what they are doing with regard to forensic images. It is not available for OSX, for now. Quickhash will conduct the hash and also report the embedded MD5 or SHA1 hash, if available, placing it in the "Expected Hash" field automatically, depending on the type of hash the user is performing. So if the E01 contains both MD5 and SHA1, but the user selects SHA1, then the embedded SHA1 hash will be reported as well as the computed SHA1 hash, and the same theory for MD5. More features will likely follow in future of this landmark addition to QuickHash GUI.
New : CRC32 algorithm added for Text, File, FileS, Compare Two Files, Compare Two Folders and Base64. Not added to disks, and not available for EWF (E01) image hashing. New : Users who utilise the CRC32 algorithm via the FileS tab can now optionally choose whether to just compute the checksums of the files in the folder as normal, or, compute the checksums and then rename the files by appending the checksum in square brackets to the end. Useful for many media and sound specilists who commonly use CRC32 values in their work.
New : Button added to enable the user to easily make a copy of the backend SQLite database at any given point in time, for convenience. This can help users who may wish to load it into specific database tools, like SQLite Explorer or browser extensions like SQLite Manager.
New : The About menu now contains a "Check Environment" option (available on all OS platforms but the results vary on each) that scans for DLLs, reports database information etc. New : Logo replaced with the newer Quickash logo.
New : In some parts of QH where display grids of data are generated (FileS, Copy, Compare Two Folders), the user can now select their own delimiter character via a drop down menu, such as the tab character, hyphen and (heaven forbid) even the space char. If no character is chosen, a comma is assumed and used as before.
New : The user can now use the About menu to establish the version of SQLite that is being used by QuickHash.
Improvement : Monumentally large changes to "Compare Two Folders" processing, scrubbing away much of the earlier effort and restructuring it, with big thanks to an open-source co-developer who has helped me here. Key amongst them are that v3.3.0 addresses a bug where rows got mis-aligned if the file counts differed. The mis-match was still correctly reported in v3.2.0, and even if the file matches counted but the hashes differed, that was also still OK. But, the rows got out of sync if the file counts differed due to there being less files in one folder than the other and my use of the UPDATE SQL statement. Additional restructuring applied but note that C2F is really designed to check that two folders are a mirror image of each other, and it is supposed to help you confirm this is the case, rather than help you clean up your disk. If your aim is to use it as a file manager, then QH might not be the best option. Other tools like Beyond Compare might be better for your needs here.
That said, the ability now exists to compare files by name and hash value in both folders, and then the user can right click the results and see many other options too :
~ Restore Results view
~ Clipboard all rows
~ Clipboard selected row
~ Clipboard all selected rows (currently does it in reverse order for some reason)
~ Show mismatches (new, based on filename or hash or both)
~ Show duplicates (new, offers the chance to clipboard immediately after because the column row changes for this display)
~ Show matching hashes (new)
~ Show different hashes, not missing files (new)
~ Show missing FolderA files (new)
~ Show missing FolderB files (new)
~ Show missing files from Folder A or FolderB (new)
~ Save as CSV file
~ Save as HTML file
That is a whopping array of ways to conduct some analysis of two folders and is about as good as I think I can make it and is based on help from the community. If that still falls short, other tools are available, or get stuck in yourself and help me.
Improvement : DB Rows were being counted (when required) using a slower method than I had realised. With v3.3.0, counts are now immediate by calling DBGrid.DataSource.DataSet.RecordCount;
Improvement : Column headers added to CSV and HTML outputs (achieved by right clicking the display grid results throughout). I may have missed one but I think I have them all covered
Improvement : Removed the generation of a "QH_XXXXX" time stamp named parent folder in destination folder when copying as many users reported this was unhelpful.
Improvement : SQLite DLL's for Windows replaced with stable version 3.35.5.0 as of April 2021 (replacing former version 3.21.0.0).
Improvement : The size of some fields in SQLite was set to 32767 to account for crazily large filename and filepath combinations. But on reflection, that seems extreme use of memory for what must be one in a billion chances and very unlikely to be encountered. Instead, 4096 size is set in v3.3.0 to still enable QH to account for very long paths, but given that filenames alone can rarely exceed 255 (even where paths can) on any of the 3 OSes except for some UTF8 and UTF16 variances, where even with those the maximum is still 1020 bytes (4 bytes for every single char of the 255 max)
Improvement : Disk hashing module now presents more data in the list view, especially for logical volumes, such as the filesystem.
Improvement : The button to launch the disk hashing module now gives the user an indication of what it is doing while it loads the treeview of disks and volumes
Improvement : The system RAM label has been moved from the main interface to the new Environment Checker section of the About menu (Windows only). This frees up some GUI real-estate and avoids the use of resources unnecessarily. Fix : DisableControls and EnableControls used more extensively to expedite the "Save as CSV" and "Save as HTML" options for large volumes of data, as some user reported save efforts taking several hours for millions of rows of data. This makes sense because Quickhash was repaitning the display grid after each row file write.
Fix : When saving results as CSV in Compare Two Folders, if the user selected an existing file to overwrite, it would do that, but the next run would result in an infinite loop telling the user it already exists and to choose another file, but not being able to actually do so. That was fixed.
Fix : Apples new OSX 'Big Sur' OS unhelpfully removed static libraries, like the SQLite library, so it could not be referenced by file path. So a different method of lookup is needed using the dyanmic linker cache and a 3 state compiler directive is now used for loading SQLite, depending on the OS being used. That has been applied so that Apple users can continue to enjoy the benefits of QuickHash on that most changing and challenging of operating system. You're welcome.
Fix : Two stringlists are created when using "Compare Two Folders" to store the list of files for analysis. I had introduced a memory leak here without realising it and that has been corrected (with thanks to an open-source developer who spotted that for me).
Fix : A small memory leak existed in frmSQLiteDBases.DatasetToClipBoard for copying data to clipboard. The CSVClipboardList string list that was used to achieve this was not being freed. Now it is freed.
Fix : In the basic results txt file that is created during Compare Two Folders, the selected folder names in the log file were prefixed with the LongPathOverride of two slashes a question mark and a slash. That was corrected to just show the normal path as users dont realy need to see that (as it is just an API switch).
Fix : .Value was used extensively to "call" a value from a DB cell. But some cells can be NULL in QuickHash. And if they are, using .Value can generate an error. Instead this is now switched to .AsString meaning a NULL value returns an empty string, as intended.
Fix : In the Text tab, the "Expected Hash" lookup was not applied for xxHash, which was missed before so if users pasted an expected xxHash value, it would not be looked up against the computed hash. That was fixed.
Fix : In the File tab, the "Expected Hash" lookup was not applied for xxHash, which was missed before so if users pasted an expected xxHash value, it would not be looked up against the computed hash. That was fixed.
Fix : The disk hashing module showed the field for Blake after hashing, even if empty and not computed, and was not being hidden like the others. That was fixed.
Fix : The disk hashing module reported "Windows 8" when conducted using "Windows 10". This was not actually wrong, but mis-leading, and is actually due to the Windows API being woeful in parts with regard to how the "number" and "name" of Windows are reported. So a new function created to speak to ntldr.dll directly so that now the major, minor, and build versions are all reported.
Code : Adjusted variable naming in the "ProcessDir" function relating to source and destination folders because it was so confusing I did not even understand it several years after first writing it.
Code : More effort made to initialise variables
Code : Dismodule code entirely refactored to be more efficient, to produce more useful data for the user, and to help safeguard against null values, removable drive bays with no disks, and for general ease of reading. It should now also read (be able to hash) CD and DVD disks, for example.
