Thanks Paul. I don't see HashTab as being able to directly read the .md5 file. Users would have to open the .md5 file in a text editor, then copy/paste. And sadly this tiny bit of effort is actually being deemed an undue burden. It literally has to be as simple as double-click the .md5 file and get nice green graphic that says everything is ok. HashCheck is the tool people are wanting to use, but that requires the relative path be included in the md5 file. I've submitted an enhancement request but their last release was in 2009 so I'm not hopeful.
