Post-commit suggestions for improvements:
The two most usual workflows (checking a checksum, sharing a checksum) here both require to make use of a (hidden) context menu and searching the one typical action in that menu.

Please consider:
* adding a "Paste" button next to the "expected checksum" field, with proper tooltip.
* adding a "Copy" button next to the calculated checksum label, with proper tooltip.

That should both simplify usage and also make things more discoverable.
