But in any case, any such dialog would have to be provided by KIO or lib/konq. And if I think about the Dolphin users I know personally, I don't know many who care about md5 sums.

Then again, the average linux user is already a power user to an extent, imo, and already knows what an md5 is.ĭolphin isn't really targeted at power users.

So I can not fairly comment on this but I suspect a simple You could be right on the cpu front, but I have only used it backed by a Core 2 Quad Q6600 at minimum(might not have started using terra copy until I switched to an i7). Then again, the average linux user is already a power user to an extent, imo, and already knows what an md5 is. I disagree on the confusing part simply because it could be explained to the use via knotice or kdialog upon initiating a file movement for the first time. It would just waste CPU cycles then, and the display of the unneeded md5 sum would probably be confusing or even annoying for most users. Not sure that this makes much difference but throwing it out there as a just in case.

I think maybe a screen shot will help convey the point:Īctually looking at the screen shot I stole off google, I see it is using CRC rather then md5. It's not that the md5 is interesting, but rather the fact you can sit back and have complete confidence that your files were transfered with no data loss. I see that this is useful sometimes, but most of the time, the md5 sums of the files you are pasting are not interesting. I don't think that we should calculate md5 sums by default.

Set ultracopier as default
