Re: aescrypt-gui update to use keyfiles
That's in my long list of to-do items. But my plan in the end would be to collapse they key file concept into aescrypt so that separate key generation is not necessary. But, it won't be addressed soon. There are pros and cons with the approach, the biggest con being that the keyfile sits in the clea...

Re: Decryption tools?
AES Crypt requires a version of AES Crypt to decrypt. However, AES Crypt is open source and documented. Keep a copy of both the binary and source code. That's exactly why I made it open source. I had the exact same concern as you.

Re: Size files question
The C code (used on Linux, Mac, and Windows) can handle any size file. It can create any size file the operating system (or media) will allow.

Re: AESCRYPT DO NOT OPEN
If you right-click on a file and don't see the "AES Encrypt" or "AES Decrypt" menu option, then you probably installed a 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine (or vice versa). Verify the architecture type for your operating system. Since you installed AES Crypt already, first uninst...

Re: AESCrypt on Ubuntu 20.04
I've seen a few GUIs where that sort of thing happened. It just reminds me that I need to find a better installer. Try this: $ ./AESCrypt-GUI-3.11-Linux-x86_64-Install --mode console That will bypass the GUI install window and just install the software. It should still work as expected once installed.

Re: Large quantity of files to decrypt
There's no switch, but you could redirect error messages like this:
PowerShell uses $null rather than nul, I think.
Code: Select all
aescrypt -d -p secret foo.txt.aes 2>nul

Re: Large quantity of files to decrypt
Yes, there's a command-line version installed with the GUI version. See C:\Program Files\AESCrypt\aescrypt.exe.
To use it, see the examples here: https://www.aescrypt.com/windows_aes_crypt.html
Or type "aescrypt -h" for help.

Re: security for important storage
Just keep the key on the physical media encrypted, too. You could use a password that you can more easily remember, but keeping it encrypted helps to protect the important key in case somebody gets it.

Re: Portable, windows 32 bits, does not open or start.
There are two windows executables you will find after installing: 1) aescrypt.exe 2) aescrrypt32.exe The first one is what you want if you are using the command-line. The second is only used when you double-click on a file with the file extension .aes. Don't try to run that directly, since it's not ...
