Add option or toggle to show Blob properties' ContentMD5 in hex (Base16) instead of Base64

Preflight Checklist

• I have installed the latest version of Storage Explorer.
• I have checked existing resources, including the troubleshooting guide and the release notes.
• I have searched for similar issues.

Problem

All of my tooling works with content hashes, like MD5, uses hexadecimal (Base16 ) representations, not Base64, so whenever I copy a blob's ContentMD5 value from Azure Storage Explorer I need to convert it from Base64 to Base16 which disrupts my workflow.

---

Examples of tooling that requires Base16, not Base64:

• SQL Server Management Studio's Grid View shows varbinary values in hexadecimal with an 0x prefix
• 7-Zip's hash tool (an Explorer.exe shell-extension) shows all hashes in Base16
• Excel doesn't support Base64, but it does support Base16 (=HEX2DEC and =DEC2HEX)

Desired Solution

A toggle button within the ContentMD5 textbox that flips the display between Base16 and Base64, and the last-used-setting is persisted

Alternatives and Workarounds

No response

Additional Context

If this feature is implemented, I'm not bothered either-way if the box has a leading 0x or not.

We have several spots in the app that allow you to select encodings. Could be useful to have a generic "binary field" of sorts that lets you toggle the encoding for the data in the field.
