      Hello,
      I am confused, could someone help?

      I have a string like this: hYjKHGD9LUCJWa0/S+I7i5WDWAg=
      I use Base64 Decode Plugin tool and get a string which does not paste here properly then I convert this value by ASCII -> HEX and get this result: 8588ca1c60fd2d408959ad3f4be23b8b95835808 which is correct.

      When I do the same with this string: jKF0hAiWY//CXGhYsiyIb/LIqJI=
      Base64 Decode works and I get a similar sting to upper one but when I use the converter ASCII -> HEX nothing happens.

      I tried same with some other strings and most of them works fine but some of them does not.
      Could this be a bug?

        Are you using the Plugin Mime Tools (https://github.com/npp-plugins/mimetools) for Base64 Decode?
        For ASCII->HEX you used the Converter Plugin?
        N++ in 32bit or 64bit version?

        What is the task you try to achieve?

          Yes I use Plugins/Mime Tools/Base64 Decode.
          Yes I use Plugins/Converter/ASCII -> HEX.
          N++ in 32bit. (Don’t know why)

          I try to hashcheck some big media files (DCP) before/after cloning.

            I guess I need a plugin to convert between Base64 and HEX directly if there is one.

              It looks like it is the xFF is causing the problem in the ASCII string.
              If I convert ff from hex to ascii I get xFF but I cannot convert xFF back to hex.

                Converter could be found at https://github.com/npp-plugins/converter. You could create an issue there at https://github.com/npp-plugins/converter/issues.

                Would it not be sufficient to calc a md5 or sha1|sha2|sha3 sum over your files? MD5 is available also in N++ under tools.

                  I checked the converter/issues, it was a known issue and they cannot solve I guess.

                  I tried different sums but sum1 seems to be the correct one.
