And one of those that was identified more recently for a user who was comparing two folders to the tune of 500K files noted that the “Save to CSV” took “a few hours”. Some people are using it for millions of files, and one user that I know of has even used it for billions of files! With such large file counts comes large demand. QuickHash is used a lot more than I ever originally anticipated when I first started it 10 years ago. But you can continue to run v3.2.0 or below of QuickHash on those older OSX versions, but obviously then you don’t get the benefits of v3.3.0. The only caveat is you wont be able to run it on older versions of OSX anymore…at least not v3.3.0. So with version 3.3.0 of QuickHash, you should now be able to run it on OSX Big Sur. Something I hadn’t realised until some time after the release of the OSX Big Sur when users kept reporting to me that they couldn’t run the tool on OSX. This meant QuickHash had to have it’s SQLite lookup adjusted. So the files no longer exist on the OSX filesystem. Apple removed a lot of the common library files that QuickHash previously looked up and used, like SQLite. OSX Big Sur presented me with a bit of a headache. I will however provide a “brief” insight below. I am not going to list the entire CHANGELOG here because there is too much for one blog post but I encourage you to go and read it over on Github. It has been a monumental amount of work for one hobbyist person, and I am thankful for the couple of hero open-source community members who have helped with parts of this release. As we celebrate 10 years of QuickHash-GUI, the biggest update of the program for several years is released v3.3.0.
