Large file with .md5 extension isn't recognized as containing hashes

[Anton-V-K]

When double-clicking a file with .md5 extension , the app opens it and generates hashes for it (which is quite useless).
How to make the app verify the checksums instead?
I think, this should be a default action for files with extensions .md5/.sha1/etc.
The file was generated with ExactFile and has the content like:

; Checksums generated by ExactFile 1.0.0.15
; http://www.exactfile.com
; 29.11.2021 0:56:25

could you please upload the file here? Encoding might make a difference, as this should be detected just fine.

Thanks for quick response.
Here is the full file checksums.md5.zip (~1.2 MB)

Ah, it's the size, currently files over 1 MB are not checked for sumfile-ness as checking is rather expensive and happens early on. I guess i should make this into some sort of configurable option. Or just try to parse anything regardless of size and early-fail if something cannot be a valid sumfile, then only edge cases should cause performance problems like a file full of newlines or something.

Should be fixed in latest development build
