certutil can't output MD5 in uppercase format. It may be easy to forget to convert to lowercase letters when maintaining.

What about SM2071 macOS (M1 ARM64), any chance it'll be there?

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe

@maboloshi no problem, find can ignore case:
certutil -hashfile sublimetext md5 | find /i "md5_hash_string" || exit

And xxd is popular in Linux & Mac. Most people has it when they install vim. For Windows, you should ask them to download it from https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-sdk-64/blob/main/usr/bin/xxd.exe?raw=true

BTW, it's funny to say that Note: ARM platform is not supported and then provide the patches for Mac M1 ARM64 :D

ST & SM support both Linux ARM64 and Mac M1 ARM64. Here you provide half the choices on ARM64. Maybe you should say something like "I didn't test it. Use at your own risk."

Currently there is no solution, we recommend using the latest beta version.

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe

Look at @n6333373 's comment

fwiw, you have to return 0 (instead of 281) in SM 2069.

@plakhin You have to modify patch for "Initial License Check". Just make it return 0 and you can use it for SM 2071. If you don't know anything about ARM64, you can use disasm.pro to do that.

Sweet! Now SM 2069 has the same result from license check function as ST. It's a good time to merge the patterns for SM and ST. I hope they won't change to 281 again (like they did before).

It's strange. It came back to 281 again in SM 2072. I wonder if it's a mistake that has happened too many times.

Now they reverted to 0 (instead of 281) in SM 2073. Let's see how long this ping pong game lasts.

@n6333373 yup, 281 is back for another round of applause.
@maboloshi it feels strange to have the patch before SM 2074 showing up in the official download page.

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe Is it currently cleaner to use the "details" tag to collapse?

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe

@maboloshi it looks much cleaner. While you're at it, you should also merge the "Thanks to ..." sections.

However, my browser can't search inside collapsed sections, so I have to expand them before I can search for a hash or some hex bytes.

Rather than mentionning xxd is in Git for Windows and mess up with environment variables, this works too and is cleaner in my opinion

  • Get MSYS2
  • Replace find /i with find -iname

Works without much changes, xxd is already part of MSYS2 default packages

Nobody uses Git for Windows when it comes to bash executions except noobs, MSYS2 is much up to dates for this.

 pacman -F xxd
msys/bash-completion 2.11-2 [installed]

For Git for Windows users: why I need MSYS2?
For MSYS2 users: why I need Git for Windows? You noobs?
For geek users: why I need any of above while OP has provided a single xxd.exe?

PS:xxd.exe extracted from git for windows

class101 commented Jun 15, 2022

Because he seems to suggest

  • Open CMD.exe (because find /i) is Windows
  • Make the necessary actions so that typing xxd in CMD.exe works (which is not the case by defaut, xxd has to be in a a path set by the env variable PATH, that is dirty to do)

Thus why suggesting to

  • Use bash of Windows Git ( find /i) won't work unless you change it to find -iname
  • Use bash of MSYS2 ( find /i) won't work too unless you change it to find -iname

Not sure why he changed the Windows procedure, before you just had to load a CMD.exe, exec the script, job done
