Hello

Made a "new" gui for bcrypt and ccrypt this afternoon, first made by coolpup. Don't know if someone is interested in and need some feedback.
I'll post two pictures of it and later the progs.
Questions:
- should I put bcrypt and ccrypt into it?
- made changes to the mime types to detect encryptet files, also include?
- at the moment german and english in one file -> only english?
- zip directoriy with xarchive, better commandline? (with xarchive you can make changes and it's better to handle)
- two progs at the moment, make it into one?

thanks for your answers

take care

Edit: must be named directory and not directorie Embarassed

Hello

Thanks Lobster for your answers. Made a new one and hope it'll be good.

It's a simple frontend for bcyrpt, which is NOT into this package.

1. Choose between file or directory encryption.
2. Choose dir/file
3. If directory => choose if you want to zip it into one file
4. That's it

You can only encrypt directories without subdirectories. No option for more in bcrypt.
Files (*.bfe) are not automatically detected, you have to edit your globs file for mime detection. You can decrypt .bfe files by right clicking and OpenWith/Pdecrypt.

Please test the file and give me a feedback, so I can make a final one.

With ccrypt you can encrypt directories with the -r option. Why not take this one?

Thank you lobster, you are my english teacher Laughing

I didn't know how bad my english is. I am a little ashamed Embarassed

I'll make the changes in the help file and post it.

This is my first gui and I'm learning how to deal with the gtk-dialog.

Thank you for helping
Take care

PS: What do you think about ccrypt? Linux/windows/mac, subdirectories, secure deleting, 41kb.

Your English is very good
Good job on your first gui Smile

Your program is running in Puppy 5 Lucid incidentally Smile

Be aware of this thread and maybe send a private message to 'jamesBond'

Yes I would go ahead with a ccrypt GUI pet
You might like to incorporate it into my GROWL program (and release version 2)

Thanks Lobster for helping!

So here's the new Pcrypt-1.0

It's a simple graphical user interface to bcrypt.
You can en-/decrypt any file or directorie (without sub directories) by typing, dragging or choosing. It can compress your directorie after encryption.
Encrypted files will be saved with the extension *.bfe. If you add a line to your mime globs, files will automatically detected and opened with a terminal window for encryption or you can open them via right click and send to Pdecrypt.

It it is made to be simple, so that everyone can use it.
Here you can find the windows version of bcrypt: http://bcrypt.sourceforge.net/

Hope it's usefull
thanks for testing and using

Take care

soliver,

jamesbond has done some good work on encrypting directories.

See here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=423141&search_id=1969722926#423141

I have made a single pet package of his work here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=423516&search_id=1969722926#423516

This will allow you to encrypt sub directories.

Very simple to use although about 500k.

Nicht "alogarithm" sondern "algorithm" in deutschesprach so wie englischesprach...

Nicht "sub directories" sondern "subdirectories"...

"Hilfe" = "Help"
"Abbrechen" = "Cancel"

Sonst, sehr gut...

Hello,

made a new gui for ccrypt, see picture.

Some new options and subdirectories are possible.

I have included the bin of ccrypt and wipe (http://lambda-diode.com/software/wipe/) for secure deleting.

Please test it carefully. This is my 2nd gui Wink

I'm happy about comments

Tested in puppy 4.1.2 and seems to work.

What would make this absolutely fantastic (it's already great) would be to include ROX right click options for files and directories..

Because it would be really nice and easy to right click on a directory or text file and choose to encrypt/decrypt, like with the EncFS tool by jamesbond, which is linked to previously. on this thread...
