What changed and why? | June 8, 2026

I just pushed an update that removes the right-click context menu integration and adds SHA-256 post-copy verification.

Why remove the context menu?
The context menu worked by spawning a short-lived process on right-click that queried Explorer's COM interface to find out what you'd selected. The problem: that process raced against Explorer's own foreground state. Most of the time it was fine. Sometimes especially if the menu opened quickly or the system was under load it grabbed the previous selection instead of the current one. You'd right-click a folder, hit Quick Copy, and it would silently queue the wrong folder for copy. I can't ship a file operation tool that fails silently like that. So I pulled it until I can make it reliable.

What was added instead: SHA-256 verification
After a copy finishes, RoboExtension can optionally re-read every destination file and compare SHA-256 hashes against the source. Any file with a mismatched hash is flagged in a results dialog, listed with its error, and offered a one-click re-copy. Enable it in Settings "Verify files after copy (SHA-256)". It's off by default because it roughly doubles elapsed time on large jobs but when you're archiving irreplaceable files, migrating drives, or copying over a network you don't fully trust, it's the only real confirmation that your copy actually worked.

RoboExtension - Copy 10×, move 406× faster than Windows Explorer

Copying thousands of small files mixed with large ones in Windows Explorer can take days — with no guarantee of finishing. One locked file stalls everything, errors tell you nothing, and you never know what actually made it through. RoboExtension fixes this with the same Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, right-click — no workflow change. Only up to 10× faster small-file copies, same-volume moves 406× faster, drive-type detection, locked file handling, retry as Administrator, and a post-operation failure report.
