I am loving your application. It is fast, free, and works well. Which is a very rare combination.
One issue that I have is that I need to check the MD5 numbers of files that are packed in an .ISO or .NRG file. At the moment I have to either unpack the .ISO or .NRG that gets delivered to me or burn it to a disc and then check the MD5 numbers of the files off the disc.
Could you add the functionality for me to open these and browse them within the application? If I could it would save a CD or 20 minutes of my time every time I have to do this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Ben,
I think you can mount the image file in a virtual drive and then check files in this image. It’s fast and the result is the same.
Virtual drive software I’d like to recommend Alcohol 52% free edition: http://www.alcohol-soft.com/, it is very powerful. The free edition includes an annoying IE toolbar that you can uninstall later.
Can this solve your problem? Or if you have any other question, please let me know
