There are several ways to verify single files in HashTools 2.0.0.
-Right-click on the file you wish to hash and select "Hash with HashTools"
-Open HashTools and drag the file you wish to hash into the HashTools window
-Open HashTools and click the "Add File(s)" button, then choose whichever file you wish to hash
EDIT: I just realized you were talking about the "compare" field from the old version of HashTools. No, that is no longer available - you will have to manually compare the hash to HashTools output. However, as you may have noticed there is still a "compare" field in HashTools 2.0.0, it's just not a text box now. It is meant for use with .sfv files (and hopefully .md5 in the future), which I assume was meant as a replacement for the old method.
So in short, yes, what your asking can be done. You just have to save a .sfv file to do it.

Thank you Soikrul.
You are correct: I was talking about the compare field.
Instead of having to manually compare the hash, I would paste the hash into the compare field.

Personally I feel that .sfv files are a better way to go about things, or more automatic at the very least. Where they do fall short is if someone were to do something like send you an e-mail with a hash or if you wanted to compare any hash type except for .sfv (or .md5 depending on the tool you use) and didn't feel like doing it manually.
Of course, manual comparison is hardly more difficult... For my purposes it was a fairly useless feature, but you seem to have gotten use out of it and it certainly wasn't hurting anything.
