OSX GUI based checksum tool
Detailed description
why?
For most people the available tools are not nice.
Doing checksums is a big win.
checksum gui front end
app to take a chosen folder and generate a checksum manifest
app
1. CHOOSE FOLDER allows user to browse & choose folder
2. RUNNING CHECKSUM gives feedback on activity ideally with some idea of time remaining
3. CHECKSUM COMPLETE feedback when operation complete
4. TIME TO COMPLETE back on time taken
5. SHOW MANIFEST possibly open folder window to show checksum file
key features
lots of feedback
no end user configuration required
issues
proposed development route is just a proof of concept
a more robust app is a bigger task

advanced weapons & tactics
app can do (or guide though) install of all dependancies - ie all the command line tools that make it work
-
for future
app can take a manifest file & run validation
