[Release]MD5 Updater
I've been working on an MD5 updater from scratch lately.
What is MD5?
LolWut?
Every file has another MD5 Hash. If you have a textdocument with 555589489498 chars and you change 1 char; the md5 will be different.
How does a MD5 Hash looks like?

It is buildt by numbers and letters, no special chars.
How does your updater work?
You have a config with different stuff set. The config looks like this:
You will have to fill in your data.
On program startups it reads threw the config to get the information.
Afterwards it compares the md5 hashes listed in your filelist to the ones in your current startup folder. If the file does not exist or the md5 is different it adds the file to a list. Every file in that list will be updated.
How to use the MD5 Comparer, what can it do?
First textbox: Select your patched folder.
Second textbox: Select your unpatched folder:
If you want to create a fast filelist, simply select the folder with the files in the first textbox and leave the second textbox empty.
-> Create Filelist
What do I need to use this updater?
Why is it so special, why should I use such updater instead of another one?
How does your updater look like?
MD5 Comparer is boring, no screenie needed.
Zomfg! I was into copy & pasting your program, but I couldn't dissassemble it.
It looks too nice to be true!!! I needz virusscanz!?

What is MD5?
In cryptography, MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value. Specified in RFC 1321, MD5 has been employed in a wide variety of security applications, and is also commonly used to check the integrity of files. However, it has been shown that MD5 is not collision resistant;[2] as such, MD5 is not suitable for applications like SSL certificates or digital signatures that rely on this property. An MD5 hash is typically expressed as a 32-digit hexadecimal number.
Every file has another MD5 Hash. If you have a textdocument with 555589489498 chars and you change 1 char; the md5 will be different.
