That's an exciting way of adding it to a GUI through Thunar.
On LinuxLite, when I've needed to check MD5 (or other hash sums) I've just gone for a simple approach and used the command line with the built-in md5sum function (or sha1sum or sha256sum depending what function I want to use). It has worked well for me when checking copied or downloaded ISO's against original. I haven't used it for anything more advanced than that though.
I do like the addition to Thunar that you mentioned since it would allow the function to always just "be there" as an option for doing checksum of any file via GUI, which definitely is helpful. Thanks for the tutorial.

Using Linux Lite for everything now. I put it on my desktop and my laptop. Woohoo!
