md5sum

I am trying to restore a function that I had on my last box. It added a tab in the properties menu of any file called "Digests". From there I could choose any/all of the hash formats, click hash and it would generate said checksums right there.

What I am trying to find out is either the name of the package or acquire the location of it's installation.

I have started a thread on UbuntuForums pertaining to this already
