Feature description

Properties dialog already shows MD5 value. Adding SHA-1 and SHA-256 digests, as two other popular digest options, so we don’t need to rely on another app to just verify the checksums of what we download. Other digests may be available in the Java implementation, but only MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 are guaranteed to be available on the Java platform, so I didn’t care to implement others (I know that KDE file manager implements SHA-512 as a 4th option, for example, but I never saw it used).

Why do you want this feature?

To verify my downloads when a MD5 digest is not provided (and only SHA-1 or SHA-256)
