DropSum 1.2 is more flexible in handling text
DropSum is my simple drag-and-drop utility for checking MD5 and SHA256 hashes, and using them to compare pairs of files to see if they’re identical.
This new version brings two changes:
- Text entered in its two text boxes, where you paste hashes, is now cleaned of any spaces and hyphens, and set in lower case, before being used as a hash, although it’s not altered in the text box. This should save you having to edit what you paste there. Thanks to Panda for requesting that.
- I have tried to improve readability when in dark mode in Sequoia and earlier. Thanks to EcleX for requesting this.
That said, the window’s appearance is a compromise between what looks best in Sequoia, and that in Tahoe. To see what I mean, here’s the same app, in its new version 1.2, in two versions of macOS, both in dark mode with Reduce Transparency enabled.
In macOS Tahoe there’s strong contrast throughout, and all text is readable, as it is in light mode.
Yet in macOS Sequoia, white text in unselected text boxes is shown against its orange background, rather than grey or black.
I have a feeling we’re in for an autumn of similar visual discrepancies appearing in other apps, whether or not they’ve been built for compatibility with Tahoe.
DropSum 1.2 for Big Sur and later, including Tahoe, is now available from here: dropsum12
from Downloads above, and from its Product Page.
Its MD5 hash is 9370f006d65eb3f6f65ab97dc78ce345
and SHA256 is f898b580138dc05d273c8b7f16321ad6d6754d76ecabf1c49fcac1d32bc156e6
Enjoy!
