Hi,  
  
Using FB5.  
  
Any known problem with this action? It always fails with the message “hash of file xxxx failed”. I tried against various files. Same result. I can compute the MD5 hash for these files with an external utility without any problem.  
  
Is it only me?

Hi Patrick,  
  
Thanks for reporting this. I’ve just checked in a fix, a test build will be available later today (I’ll let you know.)

Hi Angus,  
  
The new build fixes the problem, as well as the Enabled menu issue.  
  
Thanks.
