Dolphin now has built-in checksum feature?

[oshunluvr]

I just found this by accident. Am I the only one who didn't know about this?

If you right-click on a file in Dolphin and select Properties there's now a "Checksum" tab! You can run a checksum manually or paste in the target checksum and it verifies the match for you

Totally missed that, nice feature though!

It first appeared in Dolphin 4.0-1415 which appeared in Ubuntu 13.04, and I noticed it when I installed Kubuntu 14.04 but I rarely use it because I do most of my checksums using the CLI.

It's actually a feature in kde's file KIO rather than dolphin, so it's there in every program that uses it...like gwenview and krusader, for example.

Odd, I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 and that feature does not appear here either in Dolphin or Krusader.

Is there some setting I need to tweak?

[oshunluvr]

@Vinny - same version as you. I'm using KDEneon.

@Rod - Do you have kio-extras installed ? It might be in there - I can't find the info as to where it came from.

[Rod J]

@oshunluvr - I can't find a package called "kio-extras" in Muon. "apt-cache policy" doesn't bring up anything like that either.

The package probably doesn't exist in KDE4 (kubuntu 14.04), I can't really remember whether the checksum tab was there (it might have been, but don't recall)...seems it was (re)introduced in kf5 about a year ago (https://cgit.kde.org/kio.git/commit/...ad880c3cc25421).

OK Rod, time to upgrade!

Indeed!
May I recommend Neon User Edition with Btrfs?
