Compare by content

This tool intended to be used as a launcher of an external utility for file comparison by content. Diving into directories is not supported at the time. You can include in comparison all selected files from all panels.

Requirements:

• File - shell utility 'file', most likely you already have it "out of the box" in your OS distribution.
• Meld - GUI application Meld, http://meldmerge.org/ (in fact it is not complex to replace it by any other utility). Often it is in official repositories for your system. Installation may be done via your system's package manager. For example do a command: sudo apt-get install meld or yum install meld
• BASH - plugin is a shell script, it depends on Bourne again shell syntax.

Download:

• Plugin - https://github.com/alvesev/spacefm-plugins/blob/master/Compare-by-content-2012-05-15.spacefm-plugin.tar.gz Press "View raw" to start download. "View raw" is a Github feature for not a text files.

Check sum

This is hash creator and checker for files. In fact this is a kind of launcher for external utilities. This one - MD5 calculator. You may duplicate (see SpaceFM manual and it's copy-paste ability for menu items) entries of this plugin menu, replace MD5 utilities with sha256, for example, and you'll get a tool for other hash types. It is in my plans to add more hash types but not now.

Requirements:

• md5deep - utility for calculations of new hashes. 'md5deep' may be not installed. Installation may be done via your system's package manager. For example do a command: sudo apt-get install md5deep or yum install md5deep
• md5sum - utility for checking of already created hashes. Usually it is already on board on your system.
• BASH - plugin is a shell script, it depends on Bourne again shell syntax.

Download:

Synchronize directories

See http://komparator.sourceforge.net/ This utility is from KDE сharger, but it is fast on Atom processor and OpenBox Ubuntu desktop. This utility may be already in repositories of your system.
