If you would like to verify the checksum for an EAC 1.0 log and want to avoid using the command line:
- Install EAC 1.0
- Open notepad
- Copy and paste the following three lines into notepad
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\CheckLog.exe" %1
pause
- Browse to your EAC folder with windows explorer
- Make sure the path in the address bar matches the path in the second line. If it doesn’t, change the second line so it is correct. It will be different if you are running a 64 bit OS or if you changed the default folder EAC installs to.
- Save the file as VerifyChecksum.bat and make sure you have the encoding dropdown box set to ANSI. You may save this bat file wherever you like, the desktop is a convenient place.
Now, whenever you want to verify a checksum, drag the .log file onto this .bat file, a command prompt window will appear and CheckLog will tell you whether the checksum for the log verifies or not.
Alternatively, you can add an entry in your “Send to” menu that appears when you right click a file.
Click on the Start button and type “shell:sendto” into the search bar, if you’re using XP click the Start button, run, and type it in there. This will bring up an explorer window where you can see the entries that already exist and allow you to create new ones. You can copy/move VerifyChecksum.bat into this folder or create a shortcut to wherever you initially created it.
Now you can verify a checksum by simply right clicking a log, selecting Send to, and then VerifyChecksum.bat.
Thanks to ChTiPowA for this idea.
If you have any problems getting this to work or questions relating to the output of CheckLog.exe post in this thread.
